Clearance issues for prop puller during removal?

[George_SD]

So i got a new folding prop to replace my fixed 2 blade. I called diver and he asked for some pictures, then said he may not be able to do it since he needs about 2 inches of shaft space in front of the prop for his prop puller. I haven't measures yet, but it does look a bit tight. Zinc in front of the puller is about 1/2".

Are there any relatively inexpensive prop pullers that work well and don't need that much space? I know Amazon has a bunch, but reviews are so-so.

That is plenty of space for any puller I can imagine your diver using. If for some reason his won't work, if he wants the job he'll borrow one that will. If he won't do that, call another diver. There isn't exactly a shortage of them. Let me know if you need referrals.

I would appreciate a referral in San Diego, thanks!

Who's the diver with whom you've spoken? Don't need to waste time digging up his contact info.

Ask Beneteau if that cutlass bearing should be extended that far aft-- looks weird to me.

That is 100% standard on that model of Beneteau.
