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?

Interesting that this post provoked more responses than most boating related
posts. Interesting, but not surprising, I'm reminded of the folks who used
to say they subscribed to Playboy for the articles.

If you don't like the OT stuff, use the tools that all readers have to block
it. If you haven't implemented those tools, please stop complaining. There
are a lot of bored people out there who welcome any kind of attention.
You have to be quick on the trigger, just say no.

This post almost screams "please respond with more OT stuff so we can get
another OT thread started".
Come on now, did you never look at the centerfold?

exactly how do you get these filters.?

Uhhh, that's a bit misleading since the filter wrench sells for $249.

You are posting from an AOL account, you need to go to AOL Help to determine
how to filter out newsgroup BS. There are a number of alternative newsgroup
readers you can use that provide extensive filtering capability if AOL
doesn't meet your needs. Go to Google and search on "usenet newsgroup
readers"., there are several free choices.
Or, call AOL support to ask "how do I filter newsgroup messages?"
