Greetings to all from Turkey where I am with with my 85 year old sailing friend on his boat.. a 1973 Taiwanese built double ender .. a Traveller 32. We have sailed together for many years.. trouble free till bow.

We have the Sabb model G with a Variable pitch propeller arrangement.
Our problem is as follows:

The shift from forward to reverse has become very stiff.

I have removed the 4 bolts between the Flange that connects to the propeller shaft coupling ( part number G82BC )�. Now , not being connected it is very easy to change from forward to reverse�

I can spin the propeller shaft but not push it out or pull it in at all.

We suspect the problem is in the Propeller boss� the housing holding the propeller blades that controls the pitch.

Do anyone have any exploded diagrams that might help us ( other than the ones in the green handbook ) or any advice.

Also can the Propeller Boss housing be removed while in the water.. ?

I have attached a Picture of the same motor and propeller as we have.

Many thanks for reading,
Mike.. Sailing boat BOGLE Traveller 32 ( plenty on our Travels in Eastern Mediterranean on YouTube )

There is a hand screw directly above where the shaft exits the gearbox that "locks pitch control". You could check that this is not tightened down. I leave mine loose, because I never find the need to lock the pitch control. See item # 16 in the attached excerpt from the Sabb Model G manual.
