Andy G. Re; The bow thruster. The little 3/16 set screw holding the 9" prop in place is just not enough. I lost 3 props in as many years. At 9HP on the prop, pulling to StBd, it likes to pull the prop right of the shaft. I do not switch from Port to StBd on the thruster without a pause, none the less it too much HP on the plastic.
By the way, because of a change in computers and a subsequent loss of info I have yet another name with which I log on caus e I could not use my old name, "that name is already in use" :-)
