Had my fresh water cruiser moored every season for several years. Bottom got really bad looking and power washing wouldn't clean it up. So painted it with ablative paint. Every so many years had to sand and repaint.

So had the bottom paint removed and I repainted with epoxy. Bought a lift and never worried about it again, and later sold the boat. Lift is much nicer

Replaced Rev4 with Mirage Plus props today. Took me a bit to figure out how to swap the Tor-flow HD hubs, but got it done.

Removed my props because I wanted to switch from the 19p Rev 4 to 21p Mirage plus hoping i could get some more reverse docking control.

Note: See pic on how the washers were installed. Starboard is in the rear of pic and was installed correctly, port was not. One more item I had to use my breaker bar to loosen the starboard but regular ratchet was all that was needed on port. Spec 55.3 ftlb

Glad I did decide to swap props because who knows what might have happened if left as it was.
