Still Time is all fixed and went in the water at 10am.

| Going in the water |
Had a leak in the intake strainer that I had to fix. Had a small trickle coming in the boat.
Pulled the boat over to Port Whitby Marina for some diesel fuel.
This is what $3,500 looks like:
The prop was around $750 from the machine shop, while the labour/taxes was the balance.
Also included in the price was THREE lifts by Port Whitby Marina ($250 each). The extra lift was because their wasn't enough ground clearance to remove the rudder. I find the prices for these lifts outrageous!
The boat motors really smoothly now; I did not realize how off balance the prop shaft has been!
Here are some shots of the old prop shaft:

| You can see how the grub screws had expanded their holes |
 |
| The keyway is chewed and distorted |
