now there’s a good 32nd of an inch of clearance. If it flexes it will just be like an 18” diameter endmill making its own clearance.

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.Originally Posted by BigSilverCat
the props would not clear the #8 so I had to put them in the lathe and take 1/4” off the tips.

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.
