Columbian propellers are now manufac- tured in CF-3 high-strength stainless steel.
Columbian CF-3 Stainless Propellers
Provide High Performance And Long Life
According to Bob Steeber, Co- lumbian Bronze Corporation's di- rector of sales, the propellers now manufactured of CF-3 stainless steel alloy have the strength re- quired to allow "fine-tuning" for maximum performance. The CF-3 does not yield under load or flex out of pitch, and is tough enough to resist erosion from cavitation and service in sandy waters.
Selecting the right alloy for pro- pellers goes beyond metal that pro- vides high-performance design and long life in harsh environments, Mr.
Steeber said. It also requires a metal that has, in addition to high strength and toughness, a ductility that lets it bend a little under impact, minimizing damage to shafts, couplings, and transmis- sions.
Propellers made from CF-3, a readily weldable alloy, can be re- paired to "like new" condition when necessary by a competent repair ser- vice.
Virtually all of Columbian's pro- peller lines—Tetradynes, Hydro- flites, Makos, and Hydrosonics— can be manufactured from CF-3 stainless steel.

Over the last decade, Gladding-
Hearn lobster boats of the Kristen & Michael class have established a well-earned reputation among New
England fishermen. First built in the early 1970s, these 65-foot to 76- foot steel-hulled vessels are well- known for their quality, durability and overall offshore performance.
The latest boat of this class deliv- ered by Gladding-Hearn Shipbuild- ing of Somerset, Mass., is the Sally & Katherine, built for the Sea View
Lobster Corporation of Rye, N.H.
Launched this past April, the 65- foot all-steel lobster boat features a
Caterpillar 3408 DITA marine en- gine that produces 402 hp at 1,800 rpm. Operating in companion with a
Caterpillar 7211 reduction gear and
Columbian Hydrosonic propeller, her oversized engine provides an abundant power reserve even at her top speed of 11 knots.
The Sally & Katherine's deck- house is about 2 feet wider than that of earlier class boats, giving her a roomier cabin and narrower mid- decks. The deckhouse sports a T- shaped wood-grain-finish console, with a 24-inch Edson wheel and a full range of electronics. Interior ar- rangements of the deckhouse, cap- tain's stateroom, and crews' quar- ters are similar to earlier class boats, but with added touches that make the Sally & Katherine special. Qual- ity finished in oiled teak and for- mica, with decks of vinyl tile, the cabin spaces are more like those of a seagoing yacht. They are fully insu- lated against engine room noise and are comfortably heated by electric baseboard. Crew amenities include complete galley facilities, bunks for five hands and head facilities.
For lobstering duty, the Sally &
Katherine has a large, fully insu- lated lobster hold amidships aft of the engine room. A larger insulated fish hold is aft of the lobster hold.

Pot hauler Scandia
Minor improvements have been made in the design of the seawater system as compared to an earlier vessel. The lobster hold is equipped with a Deming self-priming circula- tion pump and an electric Conde aeration system. Handling equip- ment includes a Scandia 16-inch pot hauler, grappling winch, takeout winch, and a 1,000-pound capacity working boom to service the fish hold. An open stern with removable safety rails provides a spacious deck area for work operations, pot han- dling and stowage.
A special feature of the Sally &
Katherine is that her steel was pre- sandblasted and coated with zinc prior to assembly and welding in an effort to provide added corrosion resistance and prolong the longevity of this quality vessel.
