First boat and first time replacing a prop. Bought the correct size Quicksilver aluminum prop and have all the parts to the hub kit in the right spot. I have tightened the last nut as tight as possible but the prop moves up and down on the shaft between 1/8 and 1/16 inch. Is this normal? If not how can I get it right?

I was born and raised in Cape Cod Ma. I've spent my whole life living by the sea and couldn't imagine living any other way. I have finished my military commitment and have now decided to make my living as a Merchant Mariner. My dream is to save every penny for the next 5 yrs and use that money as a down payment for a Sailboat. I was thinking along the line's of a 50 to 55 FT Bristol or something similar. Then, I'd like to live on her whenever I'm not out to sea and keep her moored year round somewhere down on the Cape and Island's. My main concern is to whether or not this is financially feasable. Would my boat payment's and mooring fee's, be fairly comprable to that of making mortgage payment's on a house? Could anyone give me their personal experience's with this? Thanks.

I found a 16 or18 ga. pair of wires coming from inside a hole of the tube/axle of a 2 axle boat trailer. What could they be there for? The trailer has surge brakes.

I recently saw a news story of a baby born on a shrimp boat and was wondering what country the baby is a citizen of since I thought water was international.

Hi i am striping my rochester 4me quadrajet and have tried getting the primary jets out and the top of the jet where the slot is for a screw driver has sheered off, the jet itself still acepts the needle smoothly with no burs.
Do you think this will still work as i need it for the weekend and will not be able to get it drilled out and repaired in time

Not sure how to word this... but I am trying to find out the model of a Boston Whaler I have seen. It is small - probably the smallest boat I have seen on the great lakes, but it also seems able to fit 4 or so comfortably. The distinctive thing I have noticed about it is its size. And that it is a Boston Whaler. I can also say it does not look brand new nor is it the oldest.
Hmmm - if you can help - a picture would be great... and I will certainly be appreciative!

I'm working towards a life long dream of owning and sailing my own catamaran around the world over a period of about 15 + years, meeting new and interesting people and helping all mankind wherever I can. I would like to learn as much as possible about ocean sailing / cruising before I leave and therefore would really appreciate any help in this regard. I'm more than willing to pay for any postage costs. Many thanks.
