I was in C&D canal my wife said something ahead and just as she said it I heard it hit hull. When I hauled out prop had a nice ding. Transmission was blowing fluid. Drive saver might have worked.Richardnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-12630726.post-50055383659513965572010-10-28T21:10:44.727-05:002010-10-28T21:10:44.727-05:00Wait til you get to have fun playing "dodge-c...Wait til you get to have fun playing "dodge-crabpot" in the Chesapeake. Its one of the main reasons I don't like running the Bay at night.

We have a friend who went up and down every year between Chicago and Florida who claimed to know the location of every "prop shop" along the way.<br /><br />You probably already figured this out, but sometimes putting it in reverse "cures" the problem. And if you are docked or anchored somewhere where there is a lot of debris that might get caught under the hull, put it in reverse before you go forward.<br /><br />I have been following you from the link on Les and Diana's blog, and loving all of it. I'm not a sailor, but you are living my dream!Lisahttps://www.blogger.com/profile/04666707353875642720noreply@blogger.com
