The last posting I have from Brock was  November, 2001.

Just to demonstrate that things never change:

Michael,

Maybe it's time for a change in the charter stipulating that in addition to
jokes, satire must also be noted in the subject line.

Subject: [rhodes-list] motors and electrolysis


>    25 inch shafts are not long enough, because props leave the water when
> the boat pitches, and at the worst time: such as when heading into the
> wind, and into the tidal flow at the same time, or just into breaking
> waves ; consider shaft lengths on transom mounted trolling motors. The
> limiting factors are cost and weight. Explain to me why one would buy a
> 15 inch shaft motor, and use it, for a rhodes 22.
>    Many propellers and shafts, and metal thru-hulls are below the
> waterline 100% of the time; electrolysis is rare, isn't it? To protect
> your extra long shaft motor from electrolysis (this is the only way to do
> it) you need to place a watertight protective cover, or boot
> (bucket-like), over (under?) the propeller and shaft; just be careful not
> to create a humid, and corrosive environment in the protective cover. In
> a pinch, place a plastic bag over the shaft/prop area.
>    How do I test for electrolysis at a given mooring? Place a plastic bag
> over the prop temporarily, to keep water out; immerse various types of
> metals over the side of boat overnight and check the next day for
> corrosion. Am I correct?
