Hope you had a good trip back from Bellingham! I have been looking into the prop pull on Syringa as you know. (This is when the vessel is under steady steaming in forward at 1800 rpm or above) (not backing or docking) I don’t believe the shaft is off set (if it is it’s not much) and should not account for that much pull. The prop may be over pitched. I will let you know if or when I come up with the answer.

I would like to hear from anyone who has changed propellers or reduced the pitch.

Thanks
