I must say that you are adroit. You plead for information; I made an
admittedly vague but never the less possibly useful bit of
information, response indicating that some of the stingiest watermen
in the world don't seem to have any use for your preferred make, but
that I didn't know why.

You neither replied with whatever thanks were due for the bit of
information, nor ignored it, but rather started to berate me for a
totally unrelated bit in information - who actually manufacturers
specific makes and models of outboard motors. A subject that is
totally unrelated to the original subject.


Willie, I've got to say it, you are a piece of work.

Cheers,

I replied with good info, but was totally ignored.

I think he likes you better than me...



Your information wasn't helpful at all. You posted:

Pick carefully.
For a sailboat, a long shaft is important, but so is the final gearing
and prop size. One model (number?) has lower gearing and a much larger
prop - something like 10 to 12 inch diameter as opposed to 6 to 9.

The bigger prop model is the one you want.


The model I linked to has a 25 inch shaft - the longest made. The gearing is
2.15:1 and the prop is the largest diameter that will fit. 8.35" and the
pitch is 6".

In other words, your information did not apply. You aren't talking to some
rank newb here. But, perhaps some generic reader might have found it
helpful.

Raw Rube? Aren't you the guy that once started that the proper length
of oars were "ones that fitted inside one's boat"?

But perhaps you are a thief? Didn't you once give us detailed
instructions on how to steal from Walmart?
