roger, roger ... pits.
Vee Jay 2 must have had POs run over chain. the pivot pin on the prop was bent and near impossible to remove ... close inspection by martec revealed stress cracks in the blades ... but no noticeable damage to the strut or prop hub. And that is a lot of shock.
the strut does tend to flex at the hull and we periodically have to rebed or re fair the joint between strut and hull.
Hey ... take the pictures ... love to see definition of serious pitting around the cutlass bearing that could lead to failure of that specific part predictable in the next couple of years. took 25 years to pit to that point?
