Re: Shavings in the lower unit

the main reason for not turning the shaft counter clockwise is that it flip the water pump impeller fins and damage them...

Ok, so cleaning up the prop is fine, just slightly round over the leading edge and leave the trailing edge flat.

Maybe this is a stupid question, but if the prop should never turn counterclockwise, how does the boat go in reverse??

Last thing, maybe it's not the skeg that is bent. It's the very bottom portion of the L.U.
