Prop Shaft question

[BigJBB]

Distinctly different

Hello all, Madaboutlotus, you are absolutely correct there IS A DIFFERENCE between M5 and 2BA. You will be able to force an M5 onto a 2BA but there will be sufficient damage to make it irretrievable for other uses. The only one you can really get away with the same diameter and pitch is M6 & 0BA.

HTH

p.s. Bill I mis-read your handle by reading, Mad About Louts, then wondered why anyone would want to be mad a bout a lout :bash:

Hi Folks.

I've Just tested the hull of My Ben Ain Coaster in the bath with prop shaft fitted.

The good news is no leaks. (Phew)

To add ballast at this point I put in 15 x400g food tins. The coaster was still sitting high but it was good enough to test the prop shaft was water tight.

Once I get the camera charged I will add a few pictures of the progress.

Cheers

Chris
