bumped at idle thank god. boat shuddered for a few seconds but never died. seems to shift fine. kept idleing, backing up and foward for 5 mins or so docking. seemed fine. is there an easy way to check for any damage if i did cause any? no visable prop damage or external drive damage. i can spin the prop by hand easily foward and reverse and nothing seems to be skipping etc as if i lost a tooth or something. should i just run it and hope for the best. planning on a rebuild this winter anyway. tia,, mark

If there is no damage to the prop or drive case, then it is fine. The only thing that may have happened is you cracked a plastic prop hub, but I doubt that as well.

thanks griff i will be running all weekend in the chesepeke. didn,t want any issues if preventable.. mark

Hey Mark , sorry to hear about the log, hope everything is ok. just saw the post .should be in ne md sometime friday , not sure yet when, im so busy at work. got your text about rock hall .hopefully good weather. we took a ride to the inn on sunday. i also just read Bills post , sorry also to hear about that.

looks like we are good to go. we will be down sat am. want to join us for breakfast? mark

and pass up that great breakfast buffet at the H. INN.???????? catch you at the marina at 9. . still not sure what time friday i have a few things to do friday and hopefully im on the road by 1 or so. i had a weird thing happen on sunday , while anchored i kinda dozed off for maybe 10 mins i heard something fall. i noticed i had drifted about 50 ft and my spool holding my anchor line was empty and just lying on the deck. i guess a did a crappy job off tying of the anchor and it was all gone rope, anchor, chain ... you would have thought after 5 yrs in the coast guard i could tie a figure 8 and a coulple of 1/2 hitches ... i guess not... man did i feel stupid... have to stop at west marine and get a new set up.

see if you can remove your props easy,,,looking for twisted shaft???

maybe we can crash the holiday inn for some food. since i am the governer there they probably won,t mind. mark

You guys going to do the heli run Saturday? I thought that was you who posted on the other site.......

yes pretty sure we are. looks like fun and we haven,t been to either place so it would be good to follow someone in. your coming through the cd. i got hit there by the coast guard last year.. mark
