I am new to the blog and joined OSE as I was told that there is plenty of opinions to be had here. I have had this boat sitting in my basement for years. We just moved into a house with a pool and my 3 year old Grandson will have a blast with this boat, if I can breathe some life in it. I was surprised to see the battery pack took a charge, at least preliminary level. The prop turned clockwise & counter clockwise & the rudder turned left & right (all systems go). I put the boat in the water and the propeller promptly disintegrated when power was applied. I am not having any luck finding a replacement propeller. The local hobby shop only had 2 options and neither worked. They suggested contacting the OEM (New Bright). New Bright was of no help, said my boat was "retail grade toy", sorry!.
Here is what I know about the boat
OEM = New Bright
Model + Fountain / Rio Roses F2-76<br>
Voltage = 9.6vdc
Prop shaft diameter measures 3/32"
Prop shaft is threaded and the prop was held in place with a nut
I am looking for suggestions on where to find a replacement propeller.
Thanks - Roger
