...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.


Did you paint your prop yet?



It's so nice being the object of affection of so many right-wing pieces
of ****. Like you.


I don't think you can call me a right-wing piece of ****. I voted for
Obama, so maybe you should just change it to "a piece of ****". Have
you ever thought about talking to a professional about your belief that
everyone finds you their object of affection?
