Default Hey BBlades!!

My prop is on the way! You should have it some time on Wednesday according to Fedex. The letter with all of my info is in an envelope taped to the outside of the box, so don't toss it away without getting that first.

Thanks again Brett, and as soon as you can get to it would be great!!!

Are you having Brett tweak a B1?
If so, tell him to do what he did to mine.

Hey Pat! No, he's doing a little work on my 25P Mirage plus. Hopefully we'll be able to eek out my missing 200 or so rpm! I imagine he's going to do similar work to mine though.

Oh, also, when I remove the prop, should I be able to see a little gear oil in the lower unit where the prop butts up to it? I sure hope so!

Not unless it is a little left from a recent drive lube service. Did you get the lube changed when you winterized???

I had the lube changed when they put the cable in last year. It wasn't much oil. It was just a little sitting in the lip of the lower unit. The boat only made it out one time after the lube change.

We'll look for the prop.

If there is any exhaust going thought the drive at any time, it could be unurnt fuel and burnt fuel combined.

Did my prop show up there today Brett? The fedex tracking is screwed up. I get a little nervous shipping my one and only prop across the country. I bought the insurance, but I'm sure it would take 2 seasons to get paid from a claim!

Use that 3 blade Brett is working for speed runs on calm water, and buy yourself a good used 26p Bravo 1 4blade for the rough days. Brett also has a good formula for the B1s that works well on our hulls.
