Let's see how dumb Jeff and Martin are...AGAIN!

I said my prop fouled something. THIS IS WHAT THAT MEANS:

Main Entry: 2foul
Function: noun
2 : an entanglement or collision especially in angling or sailing

I never said a line caught/wrapped my prop. I said the prop fouled
something, which it did.

Every boater knows that "fouled" means tangled. Face it, n00b, you
tried to use sailer talk and screwed up!

The object was not visible to us or boat that
towed us in, so it could not be retrieved.

It was one of those invisible logs? It was close enough for an
outboard launch to also hit it and it was not visible? No one had a
boat hook to use to find it? Or do you make more money leaving it in
the channel?


I then said that my shaft
was bent. Martin said a driversaver could NOT save a shaft

Did he say that? I don't think so.

and I
explained clearly, using the most simple language possible for him,
exactly what type of scenerio could save a shaft using the drivesaver.

Of course there is some scenario where it might happen. But it wasn't
designed for that, nor does the company make any such claims. Its
only a salesman saying, "sure, it might help there too." But then
this whole thread is about an instance where it didn't help. In fact,
it probably did what it was designed for, save the tranny.


Make up what you want, but my posts are gibberish and yours are NOT.

well said!

Does Martin really think the whole story is made up? I'm a dope!

it wouldn't be the first time.

Oh...sailed today and sailing tomorrow. Have fun posting on ASA while
we sail our days away!


True, we haven't sailed in a few days. But we've been out for two
weeks and currently on a mooring in Vineyard Haven, one of the nicest
spots in the world. Its only 150 miles from you, about 3 days, you
could do it if you wanted to! Today we might go to Menemsha, then its
over to Hadley's, from there its Scituate, and then home. After a few
days of taking care of business, we're heading East for a month in
Maine. And then we still have a few weeks for shorter cruises.

But I'm really envious of you - I always wanted to live in a small
house an hour away from a protected bay where a could sail a few times
a week.
