Glueing magnets to prop
Iv just picked up my shortened prop ready for my first drive at the we hopefully 
One thing i wanted to check though, if i glue four magnets for the speedo to the prop, will that imbalance it enough to be even slightly worried about
failure?
How long can i resist the temptation to drop a V8 in?

I sent my magnets, and epoxy putty to D&F when they rebuilt my prop. They balanced it after bonding the magnets on, and I was surprised how big
the balancing weight was. Still, before that it ran fine without being balanced....

If u put 2 opposite each other, and the other 2 opposite each other, they 'should' balance each other out.

Ok thanks. Iv just put the prop in and the prop is actually too low to put the pickup where i was planning so im going to put the magnets on the
output of the gearbox (as there are some conveniently placed bolts i can use to mount the bracket) so any vibration shouldnt be as bad as if it were
in the middle.

Within an inch of the ends should not affect the balance much, if you can attach them to the yoke it should have no effect at all.
yours, Pete
I went into the RSPCA office the other day. It was so small you could hardly swing a cat in there.

Thats what i was going to do originally but the wire is too short and i didnt see the point in extending it when i could just as easily mount it
somewhere else.
