<DIV><FONT face=Arial size=2>I suppose, if you became absolutely desperate, you
could make a plaster mould of what you have, carving out missing parts with a
dremel tool. A plaster mould can be used to "cast" a new part out of marine-tex,
which is an extremely hard epoxy that can be use to repair almost
anything. You might have to make two or three moulds to get a good one,
but marine -tex is cheap. It can be carved, sanded, drilled, cut, etc.

<DIV><FONT face=Arial size=2>Sounds to me, however, that you would be better
served to simply buy a new unit--making a new impeller could easily cost you
$200 in your own time (I cost out my time at $25.00 an hour), and that is what a
new unit costs at discount.</FONT></DIV>

knotmeter</DIV>
<DIV><BR></DIV><FONT face=arial,helvetica><FONT size=2><BR>I continue to have
difficulty finding a replacement prop for my knotmeter. <BR>An
impossibility is more like it. Most places respond as if I am requesting
<BR>something extraterresterial. Unfortunately, the prop is so badly
damaged, I <BR>do not think the epoxy/tin repair method will work. <BR><BR>If
my search continues to be unsuccessful, can anyone recommend a make or
<BR>model that I might replace the current system with? <BR><BR>The current
knotmeter reads in kilometers, not nautical readings. The former
<BR>boat owner told me it was of German origin. I have looked all around
but I <BR>have not been able to find a name or model. Would
or could this be the <BR>Sumlog that someone mentioned from Holland Marine in
Canada? <BR><BR>Help please.
