My Bavaria friend was sailing from my sail club to another club out by the ocean, the engine was in neutral a great part of the way and therefore spinning occasionally.
When he started the engine and switched the gear selector to forward and then gave it some gas the boat would not move and someting was wrong.
First he thought there was a problem with a shifting cable or the gearsystem it self.
He contacted me and I drowe to the sail club by the ocean and took a look at the whole problem.
My diagnose was someting was wrong with the prop and it seems like I was right.
The price for this little repair was around 1300 US Dollars with crane and parts, so check the propeller propperly on your boat before you get into the water.
The problem is the jets inside the propeller gets worn away over time due to the veil inside the prop hub, maybe it's a fault in the old design.
I know the new hub has a different par number so maybe Volvo knew something was wrong and they then fixed the problem on the new generation of propeller hubs.
