I think there may be some errors on this list . Have just got back from the Warwick show with a 162-07 prop for my Lady of Wroxham only to find that it is M2 and not M4 as required. Will have to contact the factory to swap for the right one

sorry to hear that Jeremy... i think the Workshops will have to send me a new list..   

[Jeremy]

 Ill contact them on Monday. The ones that I bought for the Showgirl are fine although as Ron suggested Ill have to make a cutout in the back of the rudders as they are very pointed.

the list has been updated, and should show the correct Prop for the Lady beale and wroxham

The link document of recommendations shows 2xKyte for the SY Medea.  I am assuming this should read 1 Kyte as my understanding is she is a single steam shaft?  Only reason I ask is I am thinking of her as a build.

[colin]

i would assume the same.... i just publish the documentation that i receive, wether the documentation is correct i have no idea.

No problem.  Thanks for the response Colin.  I will go with the assumption it is a single and if  it ain't well I will just have to buy a second motor!!!  Have decided that it will be my next build once I finish the two non deans being finished off right now as it has a lot of history and is very classy and elegant and a little different from a lot of other offerings.  And of course my last three builds have been non Deans so I need to stop the withdrawal symptoms of feeling that I am neglecting my Deans Builds!! I did walk past her on holiday 15 years back in San Diego but never thought of going on and taking a long roll of film - hindsight is a marvellous thing isn't it?
