    Spreading Manure, again

    Maybe that is why we don't see many Stainless Props for Small Outboards. Stainless and Bronze are Heavier and can increase Wear on the Clutch Dogs and Gears, if the Operator "Eases" it into/out of gear. I do know that with a Stainless, an Impact will very often bend the Prophaft. In 2002, I...
