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.

You don't want the "shrinkwarpper" to know you don't use your boat?
