I know its much easier to pull a prop and clearance it. but would a winter project be pulling the drive and clearancing it? I see some good meat there to be taken down then you would be able to run the full prop.

What's the specs on those new props? 18x?
Guessing the slip # came down a good bit along with RPM.

Hey Tyson, thanks for the fittings and the hose in Key West (and even more so for running to get them just minutes before it was time to jump in M-CON for a race)
Our week was salvaged because of this. Thanks again.
