I like buying new props. When I load my boat I always tuck my motor all the way under and floor it to push the boat up on the trailer really well.....
and i love you for it Ken. with all the props i've been selling to you i have enough to buy a lil drag boat with a 400hp mercury. LOL.

Thanks blu-ranger. I guess I was just trying to figure out what the advantage of non-power loading was.

Thanks blu-ranger. I guess I was just trying to figure out what the advantage of non-power loading was. Not power loading has several advatanges. keeps your skeg and prop from hitting the shallow boat ramps. and power loading is hard on the blades of a prop and the prop shaft. when loading like that (we all do it) it puts a tremendous load on the prop and shaft. that's alot weight the prop is pushing onto a trailer. causes blades to break/crack and fatigue... and causes strain on the hub.

Thanks Steve. I've never tried non-power loading. I'll give it a try next time out. Once again, we all appreciate your tips. Keep 'em coming.
