See review of brush width 50.8 mm

The problem is that you only notice the defects when you urgently need the parts. The brush edges on all the brushes delivered were poorly finished ("frayed"), which led to very poor finishing results. Furthermore, the entire foam came off the backing after just a few careful brush strokes. If I order again at all, I'll do it much sooner before the work to allow for any potential complaints. Just a few years ago, the brushes were much better made and more securely glued to the handle.

Those who can read benefit from life. Unfortunately, I ignored the manufacturer's instructions when I moved the sailing ship to the Baltic Sea in April 2025. The result was severe growth of smallpox and other creatures, with a speed reduction of approximately 25%. In between, I craned it out and cleaned it twice. During winter storage in September 2025, there was again about 25% growth on the underwater ship. Only the areas where the trestles had been resting during winter storage and which had been painted with remnants of "good old Bizid" antifouling in the spring had absolutely no growth at all. So the search for effective antifouling continues...

There are alternatives in the budget segment for around €1 that do just as well. Sorry to say, this is my first truly serious criticism here in the forum, but this is the reality.

As has already been said elsewhere, Rope can be cut in no time ;-) Fingers too, by the way ;-(

The product description specifies a depth (thickness) of 18 mm. But that is only the measurement measured over the anode body and the blade ring. In addition, at least 3 mm are required for the rivet heads, so the actual minimum dimension for installation is 21 mm. If you consider that the manufacturers recommend a minimum distance of 6-10 mm from the outer shaft bearing, there should be at least 30 mm of space on the shaft between the outer bearing and the propeller. In my case, it doesn't fit, so unfortunately the part has to be returned. Apart from the dimensional accuracy, the part that was delivered to me was not particularly carefully made. The blade ring was not round but oval. Whether this is a "bug" or a "feature" remains unclear.
