Lol, a few weeks back we were lamenting that the forum got quiet and boring.
Nature abhors a vacuum.

We’ve been had
damnit!!!!
Ha Ha
The trailer was seven years old, second hand and crappy when I bought it.
It already had rust inside the box sections when I bought it.
Some people are hopeless.
I have nursed it for the past 13 years.
I fitted new Galvanised springs and plastic wheel arches but you can't fix rust inside the box sections once it has taken hold.
The bearing buddies are still going strong and I think they are 20 year old originals.
My new trailer will be C section.
I recommend Lanox. We spray the trailer every time we launch the boat. It looks bad but feels good (like the Joke)
The engine in my 1979 FJ40 is a 253 V8 Holden that is 42 years old. Beat that.
And I have a 50 year old STIHL two stroke brush cutter that still runs.
Don't boast to me about your 22 year old trailer.
Keep them coming. LOL
How confused can one person be?
Did I use big words?
Try this an Alloy prop will not cause galvanic corrosion with an Alloy Power head.
Understand now?
My new motor has an alloy prop and an alloy power head. Understand yet?
I worked in marine research for 40 odd years. Amongst other things I deployed Andera Current Meter arrays around the Gulf of Carpentaria and had data loggers on wharfs in Weipa and Karumba and never had corrosion problems. I also designed a heating system for saltwater mariculture which didn't corrode either. My system heated all the tanks the major Mariculture facility for about 20 years. How good is that?
I have never had corrosion problems with any of the marine engines I have used except the 90 Etec which was the only one with a stainless propeller.
In the past I have used about 17 maybe more different outboards and had no corrosion issues at all. Amazing.
There should be quality control of people who are allowed to post.
All I see is hearsay and no facts about how many thousands of hours "other people" must get out of motors with Stainless propellers.
How many "other people" have had corrosion issues like mine.
I could make up any number. Probably thousands or tens of thousands. LOL
How about you get off my thread until you have something to contribute?
Your new engine has a stainless steel drive shaft bolted directly to your power head ya muppet. That drive shaft also comes into direct contact with “hot sea water”. What are you going to do about that?
Democracy: Simply a system that allows the 51% to steal from the other 49%.
Well you have offered hearsay or anecdotal evidence, we have replied in the same vein. Eg I had no corrosion problems with my Evinrude with a S/S propeller over 20 years and it was even moored for a few years. Obviously one persons anecdotes are not statistically significant. Plus with no plausible mechanism for your theory. If there was something to your theory don't you think it would be well know in the industry?
Can I ask what the hub on your ally prop is made of and how the nut is connected to the prop and shaft, I'd think it was a great big SS washer. With your background now clarified I still struggle to understand your posts about SS props. It's like you have focused on a single item in the whole shebang with blinkers on. Yes it is your thread and I've responded accordingly, where am I diverting from the original intent?
