    How do you screw into fiberglass/gelcoat without chipping?

    Think of a Fibreglass surface. Then put onto it a coating that dries as hard as glass. I pilot the hole to be as wide as the widest part of the screw shank. Maybe .010 " larger. Then only the screw is pulling UP on the unseen inside surface.

    Prop problem

    My faulty memory of the Kiekauefer outboard crash tests on Lake X about 1957. They ran the boat thru a concrete SLOTTED wall opening. Their results proved that L U damage was total by both. I can not find any records of those violent prop blade tear offs.

    Old wives tale. Aluminum props do break drives. Real crash tests proved there is little difference..
