Anyway, here's a snap of Yo Ho's business end. I'm waiting for the
shrinkwrap guy to show up this week. Wrapping the exhaust after the
motor drains is part of the winterizing process. I've got to spend a few
minutes removing the rust from the prop and repainting it. One of these
days I'll find a prop paint that actually stays on the blade tips. :>)
Actually the prop looks great. If you hadn't done a little clam digging
with it, there would probably be no signs of paint wear at all. That is
a lightly used prop. Probably never run over 3500 rpm either. You take
very good care of your equipment.

The wear is due to the place he keeps his boat having very shallow water.
Once out of the main channel, which is pretty shallow anyway, the water
gets shallow very quickly.


You are absolutely completely full of schitt...as usual.

Depending on the Metamucil activity, I may or may not be.

That doesn't change the fact that the BP marina is shallow and silt filled.
I've been in and out of their many times.
