[Alberg30] two blade vs. three

[EddieDiver at aol.com]

Emotional Rescue #303 has an Universal M3-20 diesel with a 2 bladed prop. We 
have had no problem while under power or sail. As I have recently become the 
volunteer maintenance manager, I did notice that there is a large chip in the 
lower stbd. portion of the prop opening in the rudder. It would appear, that 
at sometime in the past, the prop hit the rudder while the rudder was hard 
over to stbd. We just fixed the lower bronze shoe which had an 
elliptical-shaped orifice in it. Perhaps it allowed the rudder to move too 
close to the prop edge. Ed. Schroeder
