Good job T24, I'm very fussy about props on my boats. It's a diminishing art here on the Emerald Isle, in Oz I had an old local guy been doing them for 50 plus years.
Can you do anything with this one lol.

And another one Col. Now the mercruiser leg has to come off to replace the cone clutch and anything else that is flogged due to the shaking. All thanks to my old man but he will be paying for it.

That's some nasty chunks taken out there.  You'd sure know you had done it.   Just getting new ones? They can be refurbished & re-built, but new is quicker.

Notty

Bike has been standing 7 months since winter, oil change had been done Castrol power 10/40 semi synthetic and finally today I broke the lockdown-after seeing the riots and demonstrations with total disregard to the Pandemic I thought F**k it. Went on a 60 mile clear my mind trip (no dugs used, except hay fever tabs !) and wow what a difference in the gear change. I know we all have our preferences but having g tried 3 or 4 makes this is amazing :)
The older I get the better I was
The problem with retirement is that you cant take a day off

Old mate next door hasn't driven the black one for a while but the red one was in the way so a car shuffle was required. My offer to help was declined.
If you look like your passport photo then you're too sick to travel.

Hope that 60 miles was no more than 5 miles from home Notty. 
Keep the rubber side down.          Mick

My AF sockets arrived to replace the ones lot in a house move so I could get the last bolt out & split the cases for my Bonnie. Now it's just a case of getting the damned sludge trap out to ensure it's fully clean.

The head, rocker boxes & rods are going off to an engineering firm for valve guides, broken fins fixing, exhaust port inserts & some custom small ends (original rods are bearing in rod so it's a much cheaper fix than replacement).
