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. *:)



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.
