Hello ALCON,
Slowly but surely I am getting the boat all back together. Last night I got the sterndrive remounted and all connected. Today, I think I have run into a little snag. Four years ago when I bought the boat, which to this day has not been in the water for a boat outing, it had the propeller on but the trim tab anode was not on. I did not pay that much attention to it as I knew I would reinstall it. Today, I installed the propeller and the trim tab anode. However, the issue is that the propeller hits the trim tab anode; not by a little but by a lot.
Could the propeller be incorrect, the trim tab anode, or can it actually be both? The propeller is a Solas (http://www.solas.com/) and the marking on it is 15.8X15. The Serndrive is a 1987 Mercruiser Alpha I (NOT GEN II).
Any Idea/recommendations
TIA,
Gary
