So, my prop strut was broken when they hauled my boat this year. I got, "did you know your strut was broken? You must have had terrible vibrations." I didn't have any that I noticed. Then he says, " maybe you should go to a regular prop" I said " that set up has been on the boat 40 years w

Jim, funny how these things mushroom. I started with replacing the stuffing box and decided on the PSS. Then I ended up replacing the shaft, coupling and the cutlass bearing. The good thing is that the shaft will probably last longer than I own the boat. The bad thing is that after all costs

Dwight, I don’t intend on bragging, but we are normally about 7-10 C colder in winter than you are. I lived by the sea for many years and I know how the extra wind chill and humidity can feel, but for the hard freeze of the water it does not matter that much. I know that the 20 l of antifre

The guy at the yard checked buck algonquin with no luck. I did look around and there was no apparent neglect. However, they had already powerwashed everything by the time I got to see it. It is obvious they are not owning up to it and I have no reason to think otherwise except the fact that t

A machine shop can probably repair it but why not let a strut repair expert do it? There are several strut repair/custom strut shops.  Google "propeller strut repair" for one near you.  Here's an example: http://www.hhprop.com/machined-running-gear/strut-rudder-repair.php Dennis C. Touche' 35-

Hi Danny, In most cases it is pretty obvious if the joint has been exposed to seawater and/or oxygen for any length of time. A "bright" bronze is recent exposure. Normal power washing won't clean up tarnish. Any indication of fresh bronze in the broken area? Cheers, Russ Sw
