I had a problem like that and ended up removing the strut and putting it
back in the right orientation, so the prop shaft was lined up with the
shaft log. Very ugly job. Part of an even bigger, uglier job. There was no

It is line wrap stories like these that continue my practice of referring to
the prop as a "high speed underwater winch".
My guess is the root cause of all Blue Dog's trouble is having a calendar on

Hi,
In early July, I came to my boat after being away for three week and found the
engine seized. It was locked up solidly in that it would not budge even a
little bit even after soaking the cylinders with Marvel Mystery oil for several
days. It turned out I blew head gasket which let salt
A couple of years ago my friend's Shock 35 picked up a line in the water.
Unfortunately the line was made fast to semi-submerged piece of dock timber.
The prop sucked the line complete with the attached timber into the
running gear with such force that it bent the Max prop, pushed the strut
Sail Drive. Never thought about that. I would bet you could do some damage
with a wrapped prop. Hope that wasn't damaged. Never liked them, with that
big hole and rubber gasket.
The reason (Probably) he didn't dive is it was after 10 pm, plus, so rough
that it would have been pretty dangerous.
Inexperience?

Dropping an anchor is smart, cause it would be a great help to effect a tow.

Danny. The engine has to be adjusted on its mounts so that the coupling
faces are as parallel and in line as you can get them. To start, remove the
connecting bolts completely from the coupling flanges. Check that the
flanges are tight on the shafts and the lock bolts are wired properly. Check
