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. *:) DANG, Tom!!!!! That about sent soup to the monitor! 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. I've changed out several props in the water. changed out a few in the river. Wearing a good vest, and tied close with rope. Mercury and Johnson outboard. I'm happy to say that I only lost one part that that was a star washer on a mercury once. Still made it though the day. |
