Re: Bondo Torque Shift Qestion

Ayuh,.............<br /><br />My primary Prop I dialed into what I wanted it to do 4 or 5 years ago,...............<br /><br />I've had it Off,+ Apart a Couple times since then for a Cleaning,+ Inspection,....... And Blade Repairs,...... :rolleyes: ;) <br /><br />I Slathered on a coating of the grease at hand,+ reassembled it,.......Never-Sieze the last time I Think,...<br />I pull it off the boat annually,.... But don't normally tear it down,.......<br />This year I probably will,.. As I bought the place On the pond,+ Dock it rather than Trailer it........<br /><br />According to Everybody Esle,.... Greasing it is a No-No,.... In Sandy bottomed boating,... I can see where running it dry would be Better,...... It pretty much moves on plastic bushings,+ grease would Hold the Sand,.......That would be Bad,......<br /><br />My boating is Rarely Sandy,...Occaisionally Muddy,.....Usually,.. Solid Limestone.......<br />I get Alot of the Lime/Calcium type of build up,+ When I Touch Realestate,.... Things Break........<br /><br />So,......... In Your Case,.........<br />I'd just Clean the bearing surfaces More Often,+ Run it Dry................<br /><br /><br />BTW,........<br />You can use the Edit button at the top of Your posts to fix the posting,... Rather than posting another Thread,........<br />And,......... If your a "Back-Button" person,.... The Refresh Button is Your Friend.......... ;)

Re: Bondo Torque Shift Qestion

Thanks Bondo.<br />I know, I saw the edit button later but it wouldn't allow me to, though I was rushed at the time so it was probably my fault.<br /><br />I will keep cleaning and run it dry as you suggest. I am quite upset that L & S appears done with this prop.<br />Dan
