HELP!
Hi Guys,I was recently out in my 1990 Seary Cuddy Cabin when I hit something
under the water. After hitting what I presume to be a rock I was
unable to move the boat. No matter how much throttle I gave, the boat
would not move. Is this what is called prop slip? It was like driving
a car with a bad clutch. Can anyone tell me what happened and how do I
go about fixing it? Is this able to be done in the water or will I
need to take the boat out of the water? I appreciate any and all help
with this. |

| Have you examined your drive and prop? What condition are they in? How did
you get back to the dock? |

| There is a rubber hub in the middle of the prop. You hopefully sheared the
rubber, and not broke a gear. You have to be able to remove the prop. May
be able to do it in water, with the drive tilted up. |

| Or the prop is gone. Talking to an aquaintance that fishes Mexico often the
other day, he related this story. They came back from a day of fishing and
their friends on another boat were not around. figured there were out on
the town. 3 days later, they see the guys and asked about the fishing.
They said they were out about 20 miles and the boat stops going. Deckhand
jumps in to see what is the problem. Says no propeller. They said install
a spare. Spare? You loco. No radio, and they floated for 3 days until
another boat found them. |
