[QUOTE="KRS62, post: 295891, member: 3704"] Broken prop. (Aluminum.) Used trolling motor to get to a different ramp. Wife moved the truck/trailer to the new ramp. This ramp was not the best of ramps (low water level) and broke hub/tire off of axle! Luckily, I had spare axle at home. It was a looonnnggg day! Improvements based on trouble on the water: - rebuilt/repainted entire trailer - I now have a stainless steel prop and a spare. I haven't learned my lesson completely as the spare is still in my garage! (Will find a spot for it this off season.) - To eliminate dead main battery issues (and having to get TM battery and move to back) I installed a battery switch and ran wires back. I can now start off of either battery....or both. - hand held marine radio - weed wacker line to clear water hole [/QUOTE]
