Didn't your drivesaver lose a few bolts?

Isn't your shaft bent?

Why am I not seeing the obvious?

Cuz you can't understand what you read past a single post!
I said that it can prevent damage in a line fouling case which is
quite different from striking a log.
Bob, seriously. You're slow.


Well, golly Bob, you posted that you "fouled" your prop, now you're
saying you struck a log. You may have lied the first time around, you
may have lied about the log, or more likely lied about both and once
again demonstrated that you don't even have a decent grasp of basic
nautical terminology.


Its fascinating how RB's stories evolve with each telling. First he
"fouled" something while leaving the marina, then he "hit" something,
then the towboat hit something. There was, of course, no mention of
trying to remove the obstruction. One might guess that if two vessels
hit an obstruction in an entrance channel, some effort would have been
made to remove it. But obviously not in booby's world.
