968.0. "Propeller Lock" by ROCK::SMITH () Mon Apr 27 1992 13:01

    
    Does anyone in here have any experience with prop locks??
    
    I looking to get opinions/info for a friend on a prop lock
    for a 200 HP Mercury.  Does anyone know of any particular
    ones that are good/bad.  What materials are best with a 
    stainless steel prop,  ie; SS lock, Galvinized, or someother 
    plating?
    
    Installation I would imagine to be straight forward?  Should
    not restrict or hamper proper tightning of prop?
    
    Any general info is welcomed.

968.1Fresh or Salt?SALEM::GILMANMon Apr 27 1992 14:386
    Will you be using the boat in salt water.... at all?  Or strictly
    fresh water.  With fresh any material would do.  With salt, SS,
    bronze, or galv. would do.  Not brass for underwater salt water
    use it will dezinctify.
