    HYDROFOIL

    This debate is just as bad as an oil thread, it will never end and come to no definate conclusions. Dont ask anyones opinion, form your own.

    New Boat For Christmas

    Do not use neverseize on prop shaft splines, use a good waterproof grease only! Ask me how I know, I only made that mistake once, took me 2 hours with a puller and a heat gun to get the prop off after a year. Some kind of weird electrolises, turned the neverseize into cement
