I first
saw these two skin fittings suffering the
early effects of
electrolysis and
dezincification while this vessel was
hauled
out for maintenance. I advised
the owner to replace them
however he
decided it
was not important nor urgent. |

|
Three
months later he happened to slip the
vessel to do another
job and this is all
that
remained of the fittings. In my
estimation these skin
fittings were within
days or possibly hours of
failing
completely. |

This
propeller blade is suffering from the
effects
of cavitation, (note the heavy
pitting at the root of the
blade).
Analysing
the cause(s) of cavitation is not
always
straight forward, as it is a
complex
issue. |
