That should be fine. If you notice vibrations you might need to get it balanced. Severe out of balance with wipe out the prop shaft seals.

Things done at the last possible minute are done with the greatest possible information. Procrastination is, therefore, the most efficient means of doing things.

Jim,
If you don't feel comfortable doing it yourself, give me a call and bring it over and I'll take care of it, |

Pretty easy to do. I work it every year. The stupid lobster dings are a pain to ease out
