Spun Prop and Prop-Aid

[kenny]

There was a post on TOB about someone spinning their prop between the jetties and being in harms way. Mike in Friendswood rescued them with a tow to the yacht basin.
Everyone should have a Prop-Aid. Ask Louie Baumann if they really work.

I'll ask you. Do they work? I could have sworn I saw a Prop-Aid patch on your fancy pink Columbia shirt. Hmmmmm
I carry a spare but this gadget looks good! Thanks

We have a spare in the storage in the boat. And tools too. As I am still learning about boats, have had a few conversations about how that all works, but at least the means are there, and being part engineer, I could maybe figure it out. What I do know, is how to use the cell phone. That would be probably between my first or first and 1/2 option if I got in a bind.

Better yet have a spare prop. Even if its not the perfect prop. Be sure to have the wrenches also. I learned this last year. If you have to have the prop worked on you may need something to get you by until its ready.

I spun my prop last year. Glad I had an extra case of water took me 3 1/2 hours to get back in the mildde of July. Sucked big time!!

Throw a small 2X4 in your storage hatch to help remove the prop. A guy at the ramp sliced his hand open trying to break the old one loose. Bad Stuff!
I haven't had good dealings with those prop wrenches and carry a ratchet/socket.

if the hub is to far gone like mine was once, you would have to put it in gear & to be safe,remove your lanyard.

x2 on a small 2x4, put it in a zip lock bag

Oh yeah, I keep water always on the boat, and I change it out every time it goes out. That was one excellent thing to be said. Thank you.

humph, didnt think of that, that is an easy thing to put in the hatch with those things. Good heads up. Oh, and we always have some kind of silicone spray, corrosion type spray on board.
