Pull yer prop and check for line. When I pulled out Monday I noticed a small piece coming from the vent. Pulled the prop at lunch and I've got 600 yards of braid that Torch stripped off satdoc's reel the last time he got a wind knot.
No damaged but left unattended it can build heat around the prop shaft seal and cause a faililure.

Why isnt this tip for DD? You dont think he can get the prop off and back on without messing sometin up?
Doubt he could get it off, much less back on.Quote:

cause DD already took his off a couple months ago and did the same thing. Both my main motor AND my TM
Good tip. And from experience I can attest to the sickening feeling of draining your gear lube and seeing water run out. Expensive too; $1200 20 years ago.
Thanks, that is A good maintenance tip we should add to the list.
Good job DD. I was already picturing you managing to get that prop duct taped on backwards. Revving her up to back off the trailer and planting her in the bed of that pickup.Quote:

If you are talking about the star locking tab, it is reuseable. Matter I fact, I can't think if any part of the prop system that is not, thrust washer, prop, retainer, nut.
