TO ME ;;

I HAD A CALL FROM A FRIEND THIS MORNING , HE HAD JUST SPUN HIS PROP & ONLY DOING 4.5 mph & WAS AGAINST THE TIDE , HOPING THE STRONG WIND HELD OFF .
I ASKED HIM IF I COULD HELP ..... HE SAID IF I COULD BE AROUND GREAT / JUST IN CASE IT WENT COMPLETELY .HE THEN MENTIONED THAT HE HAD A BACKUP @ HOME .
I SAID GREAT F #^&#^&#^&#^&#^& PLACE .... WON,T GET WET THERE .
HE SAID HIS WIFE WAS HOME ,BUT SLEEPING //SHE WORKED ALL NIGHT ;
I JUST MENTIONED THAT I HAS A STEEL PROP IN MY BOAT & A S/S IN THE GARAGE . BUT NO GOOD TO YOU , CUZ HE HAS A 225HP HONDA 4 STROKE & I HAVE A 150 EFI YAMAHA .
HE TOLD ME IT DOESN,T MATTER , THEY ALL FIT ...YEAH RIGHT ...THEN WHY ALL THE NUMBERS & %$%$%$%$ WHEN YA ORDER ONE // EXCEPT PITCH .
HE SAID HE WAS RUNNING A PROP OFF HIS PREVIOUS MOTOR ... A 6V MERCURY .
WTF , I,D TOLD HIM I,D GET MY S/S PROPER & FITTINGS & FOR HIM TO GO TO A SPOT THAT WAS OUT OF THE WIND & TO BE SAFE // SHALLOW SO WE COULD CHANGE IT , BY STANDING IN THE WATER .
I WAS 95% SURE IT WAS A WASTE OF %$%$%$%$IN TIME ...........BUT THAT WHATS FRIENDS ARE FOR .
I MET HIM THERE & HE HAD JUST ANCHORED UP & WAS IN THE WATER .
I GAVE HIM THE PROP & ALL THE FITTINGS THAT GO WITH IT ;;
10 MINUTES LATER , HE HAD MY PROP ON /DIDN,T USE MY FITTING ...HE SAID ALL SET .

YEAH RIGHT .......... WEEEEEEEEEEEEEL HE RAN BACK TO PORT WITH A HEAVY LOAD & A HEAVY BOAT @ HIS NORMAL RUNNING RPM,S 4000 ..
YEP ... I WOULD HAVE LOST THAT BET .

HE TOLD ME THE ONLY REASON THAT THEY HAVE ALL THE DIFFERENT MAKES ^ MODELS WITH DIFFERENT PART NUMBERS IS TO SMOKE THE CUSTOMER ON SALES . HE SAID THE ONLY REAL USE TO A PART NUMBER IS TO IDENTIFY THE PITCH ><><><>:wall:

and diameter...

Of what ??? the width ??

I like his explanation better & he uses what he has . 365 days a year .. many times 2 or 3 trips aday :fishin:

Pitch being the angle of bite of the blades, Diameter being the widest point of the arc of the prop.

Just remember to bring the spare oil next time :hihi:

Said the man with the Seacraft planter..........:grins: Get that thing wet willya?

O U C H ><><><><><:fury:
