...little place for them here, eh? http://i21.photobucket.com/albums/b2...s/ce0a1de9.jpg 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. :) Your wife is getting pretty good. I see the mud and sand in the shallow areas of BP marina have done their work on your propeller. Maybe some day they'll dredge that place again. Anyway, as usual that Canon is doing a fine job. The propeller cover is almost in perfect focus. -- A Harry Krause truism: "It's not a *baby* kicking, beautiful bride, it's just a fetus!" |

The propeller cover is almost in perfect focus. Let's see. You've never seen me launch or retrieve my boat, so you obviously are not away that I do not power the boat onto the trailer. You've never seen or met my wife, yet you comment about her. You think the photo I posted today was taken with a Canon camera. You're wrong about that, too. No wonder we got our asses kicked in Vietnam. Officers like you were too stupid to lead. |

No wonder we got our asses kicked in Vietnam. Officers like you were too stupid to lead. Who said anything about powering a boat onto the trailer? I said Breezy Point Marina was shallow. You posted pictures allegedly taken by your wife. I've commented about the quality of her photography as compared to yours. She seems to have a feel for it, which you seem to lack. If I were you, I'd blame the photo you posted today on a cheap Canon. I never said I was as smart as Kerry! -- A Harry Krause truism: "It's not a *baby* kicking, beautiful bride, it's just a fetus!" |

What does Karen charge for storage on her property? |

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? |

Hmmm. Okay...I'll clean it off and not coat it! |

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. |
