    Bravo 3 outer prop is gone along with the shaft. How can this happen?

    When I was checking the engine this morning in preparation to head out for kings, I noticed the outdrive oil reservoir is bloated. I unscrewed the cap and pressurized oil hissed out.

    Gluing plastics

    One thing I would do is to cut out the portion I highlighted in red in y our picture. After it is out, form a clear around the perimeters using relatively thin cuts of wood; something like the paint stirring sticks you get from Home Depot (of course you can make your own out of whatever wood you...

    Composites transoms, why not 100% fiberglass?
