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. :)

What surprised me was the rust on the aluminum prop. My props (much older
than yours) have lost half of the black paint, I have had some dings
removed, and it has touched the bottom a time or two, but has never shown
a hint of rust. Is rust on aluminum props common in salt water?

As far as painting the props, my props started to lose their paint in the
first year, and I asked the mechanic if I should touch them up. His
comment was that the new paint would "spin off" as soon as i put the boat
back in the water. Don't know if that is true, but it sure has save me
the trouble of repainting the prop. Based upon your experience repainting
props, he was correct. When I have had the prop dings smoothed out and
balanced, the prop shop never bothers to repaint the props for the same
reason.


That's not rust. It's probably a primer paint for aluminum.

Too late. Harry already said, "You are acting as if the "rust" bothers me a
lot. It doesn't. It's just a little something I will attend to this week."

I just hope the rust doesn't go all the way under the paint.

Actually the prop looks great. If you hadn't done a little clam digging
with it, there would probably be no signs of paint wear at all. That is
a lightly used prop. Probably never run over 3500 rpm either. You take
very good care of your equipment.

Actually, the prop has never hit bottom, or anything else, as you might
be able to tell from the lack of dings or chips or dents in the blades.
It's not so easy to run aground in the Bay in a small outboard boat.

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.

Interesting "no charge" recall item on the winterizing bill, which is
another reason why I like to have the dealer take care of these things
for me.

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?

The wear is due to the place he keeps his boat having very shallow water.
Once out of the main channel, which is pretty shallow anyway, the water
gets shallow very quickly.

You are absolutely completely full of schitt...as usual.

Depending on the Metamucil activity, I may or may not be.

That doesn't change the fact that the BP marina is shallow and silt filled.
I've been in and out of their many times.

Did you ever see coca-cola spray on a monitor?

I did!

LOL!
