[QUOTE="fakirone, post: 355899, member: 14476"] Long time lurker, but first time poster. I was planning on waiting and having my first post document the restoration I am currently doing on my skinny boat, but today changed that. I was running my Alumacraft 1442 NCS upriver with the family today when a log made it past my prop guard and bent my prop. It was causing some minor vibration, but since we were about 1/4 mile from the sand bar we were headed to I decided to try to push on. Big mistake. I do not know if the two things are related or not, but about two minutes later a huge puff of smoke comes out the engine cover and the engine dies. That was that for the 2 stroke and we were stuck on the trolling motor to head back. When I got home I pulled a plug and tried to crank the motor, turn over ok. Put the water muffs on the I take for a few minutes and started seeing a little seepage around the bottom cylinder head. Long story short, I'm SOL. :-( [/QUOTE]
