If it is any help I have never used a nylock as I have never threaded my shaft. I have played with it and greased it and polished it but never threaded it.
My prop keeper is a collar where the grub screw seats onto a filed out recess on the shaft aft of the prop.
Yes I have still lost a prop because the bell-end who is supposed to tighten the grub-screw is not paying attention.......
This setup is great for a twin as there is no rh or lh thread shiate to deal with.

only my 2c worth ( in NZD)......they will be worth more that some other currencies soon !!

From what I hear a ribbed shaft is much more pleasing than one that has a big knob at the end!

I feel the same way. It's just a speedo. Don't you hate it when you know you have work to do but you're waiting on one thing to get there before you do it?
And DR. Wayne, give her a check up! :)

2 points of note..
1. us older folks call them speedys.. a speedo is what sits the handlebars a geriatrics' tricycle
2. dating advice from a teenager.. pfft.. why change what works ?
meet, greet
wine, dine
croon, swoon
associate, impregnate
defecate, run ........

I keep telling my daughter the other kids call me dad because they need a father figure ......

I think Chucks ribbed shaft is going to be much more exciting when Brydon gets his speedo. The two should work best on a pussy but not a combination to be overlooked on the rear end of any of your little beauties.

Do any of you OZ guys know this guy? He's ripped me off for $508 by disputing a paypal transaction after I shipped two boats to him which are shown by USPS to have cleared customs in Australia!

Anybody there got a baseball bat?

I appreciate your help! All USPS shows is that the shipment cleared customs on Aug 2. No delivery confirmation. Is the OZ post really that slow? I went to AustPost and tried to track it and it came up as untraceable? It was sent International Priority Mail. I don't get it!

Noy usually, although the last parcel from OSE took 31 days !

What transit time so far your package ?
reread pic above. You will get delivery confirmation from au when it lands his door.
You can request cease of delivery due wrong address !
use mine !
I can arrange something from here once the parcel is located and held.

22 days.

22 days.

from Au forum on overseas deliveries ...

You often get more information when you track with Aus Post - USPS generally goes direct from "Out of foreign customs" directly to "At foreign delivery depot" then straight to "Delivered".

However, if he has gained a refund.. track it down !

AustPost doesn't give me any more info than USPS unfortunately. Not sure what more I can do to track it down. He is trying to get a refund. I am fighting him. Paypal has deducted the funds from my account while they are investigating.

send them this link re USPS poor in Au. http://www.mactalk.com.au/8/83432-us...-tracking.html
request 31 days from ship date to delivery before refund confirmed.. USPS out of your control.

Understandably after 21 days he gets a bit upset... usually it take 7-14 days for USPS .. but last 2/12 it has expanded to 7-31 !

USPS are tracking it.. send them demand to hold delivery.. reroute..
Put the USPS tracking number into the Australia Post International Tracking site. Once USPS shows "Out of Foreign Customs" the Aust Post tracker should have more local detail.

best of luck.
LMK if grief occurs.. can arrange a visit.

I don't want to sound like a troll, but USPS must have got some funds to fuel there vehicles again, I ordered some gear from OSE on the 3rd and Aust Post says it's waiting at the PO for delivery, I should see it tomorrow. USPS still say's arrived in Australia and into customs.

[sailr]

The rediculous part is it took USPS 14 days to get it to Australia! When I go to AusPost to track it, it says invalid tracking number! Jeeeez

Usually registers in their system when it leaves customs...
When AUD was recently 110% the USD.. we foolishly sent lots of money to stores in US buying stuff made in China ..
Customs are backed up with inwards packages ( needs an enema ) .. same thing around Christmas.
Package probably arrived in usual time frame, but not scanned into customs area until backlog at entry cleared .. now going through the grinder ...

Guess that is why our OSE parcels have taken about a month or a bit more to receive Doc. I really think this Aussie guy has jumped the gun a bit though. On this forum we all know Jim (sailr) is a reputable dealer.

BTW my last parcel from OSE was sent by Steve on the 6th of July and I received it on the 8th of August.
