...little place for them here, eh?

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. *:)

Why paint a stainless prop? Surface rust on 304 SS is normal ... if
you don't boat a lot. It really isn't hurting anything. If I am
out of
town for a few weeks and not boating I see a little on mine. It
buffs
right off after an hour or so of running
Yeah, it does come right off while running. I never gave it much
thought. But I'll still clean it off and coat the prop before the
shrinkwrapper arrives.

Actually, coating stainless promotes rust. Stainless loses it's rust
resistant properties when deprived of oxygen.

Hmmm. Okay...I'll clean it off and not coat it!

I guess that is why I have never seen people paint their SS props. *
Most people are smart enough not to paint them. * I am glad you
learned something in this post. *You get to do your normal trolling
(the real reason you come here) and you inadvertently actually
learned something.

GPUAR, Reggie.

Shouldn't you be outside taking blurry, blown out photos and then
painting your SS prop?

GPUAR, Reggie. And why not post a photo that shows nature as she is,
Reggie? Certainly an asshole like you can't improve upon it.- Hide quoted text -
