How many weeks ago did that happen Mike. You must have been able to feel a bit of vibration in the runing gear and a bit of speed loss no??? Doesn't take much.

Yes that's a rope on the other side. I got a vibration as well as a slight speed loss. Going to invest in a wetsuit and snorkle for next year.
What do you mean the nuts are on wrong?

What you have going there will work, obviously. But the practice is to draw the prop up with thin thin "lock" nut and them jam it with the big "jam" nut....then cotter pin.
It's easier to get more bite on the bigger area of the jam nut when jamming it in. Otherwise you'd end up rounding over the thin nut more often trying to jam it.

You handled that well. I would have been very verbal about my shrinkage.

It may be an optical illusion but the one blade tip looks a little bent... (lower, stb blade)
You didn't feel a vibration?

There is a Nick in one of the props I'll send them out over the winter. Need to do cutlass bearings and stuffing boxes along with a whole list of other things.
There was a slight vibration. I knew there was rope on there because it would vibrate like mad some times. I would pop it into reverse and forward again to get the rope in a different place which would do the trick.
Every boat I've had you can just about run right over lobster pots without wrapping them up. The hull seemed to push them out of the way. This boat just sucks them in like crazy. One morning I hit 3 just coming out of the harbor. The cutters sometimes hack them right off but half the time I have to forward/reverse to cut it off. Had to dive it once this year I had about 30 feet wrapped up from the prop all the way up the shaft to the stuffing box.
The cutter with the net on it is broke so maybe that's half the problem? Bit even the other side still isn't 100% clean.
I've seen cutters that look like a sharpened washer maybe that's the way to go because I run thru the dark alot and avoiding pots is pretty much impossible.
Backing over the net on the other hand
