Sterling, tell us something about the Keys, your trawler, hurricane
Charley, anything boating related.

Lead by example.

I'll start. Work has me pinned to the wall this year. I took my boat
out only twice, Memorial Day and the 4th of July weekend.

We do have plans for Labor day to spend the Holiday on the boat.

I have a small ding in the prop that I incurred over the 4th of July
weekend. The ding surprised me since what I thought was a black paint
over a smooth aluminum surface turned out to be more of a heavy epoxy
finish over a somewhat rough surface (almost looks like a coarse sand
casting) . I paid a couple hundred for the prop, if I remember it is a
16"x15 or 16 pitch prop.

Is the rough undersurface and epoxy coating a normal expectation for a
prop?

Should I consider stainless steel since I do beach the boat a lot
while camping with family. The outdrive is a Volvo Penta 260A if I
remember correctly. A rough year for boating for me.

Wow...I have exactly the same year. I left my boat at my lake house, and
got there on Mem Day and the 4th. I'm heading up tomorrow. I also trashed
a prop on the 4th.

No way!

He loves this OT stuff.

How do I know?

Because even though myself and others have repeatedly explained to him how
filters and kill files work he just keeps on keeping on with the same OT whine
over and over and over again.

Maybe he's compulsive obsessive?
