Wouldn't you get better performance if you removed the paint?


But then, the whole prop will rust. Better to switch to aluminum. Or
plastic.

With that huge transom cut out, and the operator's endless supply of hot
air, why not just do away with the outboard entirely and have the skipper
lay prostrate across the transom facing aft, in the relative comfort and
security of the cut out and blow bubbles into the nearby water, creating a
surprisingly efficient jet drive. It's green, economical, infinitely
renewable, offers a low carbon footprint, and can't possibly look any more
ridiculous to the average bystander than the current program.

It's just not that big a deal, guys. Really. Go boating, or, in the case
of FloridaJim, pretend you have a boat.

No, no. *We are all concerned with your prop. *You have a steel prop? *What
kind of steel? * Stainless steel?
What grade of Stainless steel?

Harry will get back to you after he googles it up!

Have you seen the size of that transom notch? It's huge. Plenty of room.
Although I do agree that my proposal does make the boat undesirably heavy in
the stern. However, that can be offset by laying in some appropriate
ballast forward. Perhaps a nice four-stroke Honda mounted on the bow would
provide both the necessary weight balance, and some utility as well. I'm
thinking a Civic coupe should just about do it.

No, no. We are all concerned with your prop. You have a steel prop? What
kind of steel? Stainless steel?
What grade of Stainless steel?

This is serious. If that steel prop is rusting already, you might get
stranded 50 yards offshore in the Bay.
What else is rusting?

Do you carry a spare prop in case of an emergency?

Several, with dozens of blades. Gillette.

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.

I rarely run the motor at more than 4250-4500 rpm. There's no reason to
do so. Doing so just burns more fuel and wears out the motor faster. I
also wash the boat out and flush the motor with fresh water after every
use.

I'm sure the owner genuinely appreciates your dedication, diligence and
general servitude. It will surely help protect her investment.

Shouldn't you be out selling overpriced annuities?

How many would you like? Please bring a note from you-know-who stating that
you are authorized to make such a purchase.



What are you raving about now? Did you have a stroke or something like
that? You used to be close to rational in your posts here.

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

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.

Harry,

I don't believe in the philosophy that a photo should capture exactly
what you saw. I follow the philosophy that a photograph should capture
what you felt.

After looking at your photographs that capture what you saw, I strongly
recommend you quickly find an optometrist.

No, no. We are all concerned with your prop. You have a steel prop? What
kind of steel? Stainless steel?
What grade of Stainless steel?

This is serious. If that steel prop is rusting already, you might get
stranded 50 yards offshore in the Bay.
What else is rusting?

Do you carry a spare prop in case of an emergency?

It's a Yamaha.

Probably carries a spare engine for those circumstances. :)

Which brings up an interesting point - I carry a spare prop, but last
summer it occurred to me that I've never tried to change it in the
middle of the lake.

Guess what - I can't. It's too far back for me to reach in the fully
tilted up position.

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

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.

You weren't aware of that? Seriously? I carry a spare prop, but I
figure it is going to be changed on shore or from someone else's boat. I
saw a guy do it while swimming in the water offshore of Jax, or at least
he was finishing up the job. Didn't see the whole thing being done.

You show us your nature as it really is, ad nauseam. It ain't a pretty
picture. Raw, without a point of focus, unbelievably overexposed, lax
composition, and in general, offering nothing of interest to the audience.

I have never been delusional that my photography or my post processing

I learn something everyday and continue to improve, which is why I enjoy
critiques. I take a lot of photos that I just delete, I take some that I
really like, and sometimes others like too. I figure if I take 12 great
photos a year, that is a good crop.

Now if all I did was go out and take a snapshot, I would sell my camera.

contest and see who wins? *I* certainly know who. I've never seen a

Hehe.. quit trying to punk harry. Stainless steel is stainless mainly
because of its chromium content. When exposed to air (oxygen), it
forms an invisible, but impervious, layer of chromium oxide which
protects the steel underneath.

Coating the stainless with paint will not cause it to rust. It would,
in fact, protect it. When the paint wears away, the layer of chromium
oxide continues to protect it.

That prop is just made of a type of stainless that isn't so
"stainless". It can corrode, or "rust".

The brushed stainless props are usually closer to the 304 end of
hardness, the shiny ones are more like 316 that is not as hard. (there
are really lots of stainless alloys)
If you never hit anything you probably want shiny with thin blades for
performance. Folks who live around shallow water want it to be a tad
bit harder with thicker blades, giving up a little speed for
durability. That shiny, thin blade prop loses a lot of its performance
edge when it gets a few dings in it.

The other reason I have heard of painting props is to trick thieves
into thinking it is aluminum and maybe they won't steal it but I am
not sure that works

Wow, some useful info.
Got a feeling you actually boat some.

Nope, not only did I vote for Obama, but my kids and I convinced my wife
to vote for Obama. She felt that her vote would not effect the outcome
of the Ga vote, so she did not want to stand in line. I was confident
that Obama would win the General Election, but I was also hoping he
might actually win GA, and send a strong message to the Republican party
that they have lost their way and need to get back to the conservative
party of Goldwater and Nixon. The US needs a strong 2 party system, and
should not be controlled by the extremist in either party.

I hope that Obama will become a great president, who is able to help
turn around the economy. I believe he ran a well organized campaign and
his transition team seems to be doing a great job.

This is not the first time I have voted for a Democrat. I consider
myself an independent and vote accordingly.

See as always you are wrong in your evaluation of people and situations.

The prop I got is the one Parker said performed best on my model boat
with the engine I had. All the performance spec sheets I have seen
indicate Parker was correct. Therefore, there seems to be no incentive
to blow $400 on some fancy SS prop.
