Anyway, here's a snap of Yo Ho's business end. I'm waiting for the
shrinkwrap guy to show up this week. Wrapping the exhaust after
the motor drains is part of the winterizing process. I've got to
spend a few minutes removing the rust from the prop and repainting
it. One of these days I'll find a prop paint that actually stays
on the blade tips. :)
What surprised me was the rust on the aluminum prop. My props
(much older than yours) have lost half of the black paint, I have
had some dings removed, and it has touched the bottom a time or
two, but has never shown a hint of rust. Is rust on aluminum
props common in salt water?
Jesus. Are you a graduate of the John Herring School of Marine
Engine Ignorance?
"...rust on the aluminum prop."
D'oh.
I think you said you were going to spend a few minutes removing rust
from the aluminiun prop. I could tell you how it could get there but
I won't.
Uh, no...I did not say I was going to remove rust from my "aluminum"
prop. I did not mention the material from which the prop was
fabricated. Obviously, the prop is...steel.
Why obviously? I think you should shoot a macro of the aforementioned
rust. There are some seasoned boaters here who could help you out with
your problem.
