Hey sounds strange it didnt vibrate and if it didnt thats good then no chance of the shaft in the leg being bent

[phatdaddy]

i think the shaft is ok,

nipper, i am more upset about the $180 fortress anchor than the prop

Phat,

I'm glad to hear you and your daughter got home safe and sound.

Last time he visited, my ol' man was on my butt to wrap some wire through the hole in the clevis pin and I never did. I'll be looking for some wire tomorrow...

lol where was the location go back and look for your anchor.

[phatdaddy]

BGA, go outside and start wrapping, i had been going to get around to mine for about 2 months

skool, in 45' right in the channel heading out and i ran about 30 -40 yards before i realized it was missing & fathers day is coming up, so i bet i'll be getting an anchor & some safety wire.

Yikes. I recall reading something about a year ago (and submitting a post about it) where an anchor came loose like that, caught the bottom and when the line played out, the anchor shot back into the boat and killed a passenger. Glad all you need to do is replace a relatively inexpensive aluminum prop.
