| Testimonial
by Charlie Monaweck.
In
1995 I re-powered my 38' Bayliner M.Y (The Back Forty) form
175hp Hino's to 250hp Cummins, and it was also recommended that
I replace the props.
I gave my boat and engine specifications to a local propeller
manufacturer in Michigan, I anxiously awaited my new set of
propellers.
After one season I returned my props to the manufacture for
fine tuning because of vibration and noise. When I got them
back nothing had changed, I was so unhappy and I didn't know
what to do.
I had read an article in Lakeland Boating magazine about Prop
Scan, a new computerized scanning system for fine tuning propellers
and in the summer of 2000 I came across a advertisement at the
South Haven marina from a company in the local area using Prop
Scan. So with my specifications in hand I went to see Mitch
and Chuck at Holland Propellers.
Mitch told me that my propellers where not suited to my boat
size and engines horse power and he recommended I purchase two
new propellers. I took Mitch's advise bought the two propellers
that he had recommended.
On leaving the South Haven Channel on our first test run with
the new propellers, I powered up the engines and my wife and
I looked at each other as if something was wrong. At first I
thought we had lost an engine, all the noise and vibration had
gone and to our belief we could here each other talking without
having to raise our voices. The boat also gained about 5 mph
at top speed and on later calculations, fuel consumption had
been greatly reduced.
It's hard to find a business that will put in the effort to
solve your problems. Mitch and Chuck went to a great deal
of trouble to help me solve my propellers problems, know my
boat (The Back Forty) will be around they great lakes area
for years to come.
Sincerely,
Charlie Monaweck.
