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?

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.
You can't swim?

Tell you what - you go swimming in 50 degree water in the Spring to
change a prop - I'll watch. :)

Ever swim at Revere Beach or Nantasket? I did when I was a kid. I doubt
I could tolerate it in August these days.
