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?


Jesus. Are you a graduate of the John Herring School of Marine Engine
Ignorance?

"...rust on the aluminum prop."

D'oh.

Well Harry, this might be a first in rec.boats, even for you. The
original person who starts an on topic post, uses his post as an excuse
to immediately turn it into a flame fest. Normally you prefer to use
your posts as a bait for someone to say something negative so you can
turn your post into your typical flame fest, this time, you didn't even
wait. In your old age, you are getting very impatient.
