Your MG that started off as a hull

[lenny]

Prop x645 has more pitch,
And the /3 stand for 3 blade.
And yes you should be ok with the breakaway screws.

Hear some info for you.http://forums.offshoreelectrics.com/...ions-somewhere.......

What is the difference between the x445 and x645 props? 2.478 v. 2.8 pitch, does the x645 move more water, faster?

and what does this designation X440/3 S/B/P represent? i'm guessing it is an octura x440 but I don't know the rest.

thanks bud! and what size breakaway screws would u use?

[lenny]

I think the bolt are 3mm,
Same as whats on my impulse 31 and same hardware,
But I just leave a bolt out instead of the plastic bolt for now and snug up the one bolt.
S/B/P = Sharped , balanced , polished.

Yes, thats correct Lenny - with FE its mostly 3mm. For gassers, its 4mm.
There's a place nearby here called "King Bolt" - I always stock up on stainless 3mm and 4mm allen bolts and lock nuts in various lengths.

do they sell the plastic lock nuts too or should i just use a regular metal nut?

[HYDROJERRY]

They should have both,,,, sky man i loved the look of my cf boat so I think my colors are going to be dark.

the decals that you will apply afterward, are they waterproof? or do you protect it somehow?

Nahh, they dont sell plastic bolts. That normally comes with the kit of the rudder. So far, Ive never replaced any of mine yet. I also have some kick back rudders - the lower rudder mounting has a slit, sorta looks like a hook - like a Nike logo swish that when your rudder hits something, it pivots up.
This is very common with gas hardware - too many times I've seen gas boats when retrieved their rudders are up (obviously they hit something down there) - but you just return it by hand and you're good to go.

But I've also seen rudders that have been twisted and bent sideways - worse is the 6" long rudder bracket looking like a banana. In a way, its a lot easier for us if part of the transom rips as its easier for us to fix and get back to running by next week rather than ordering a part and waiting 2-3 weeks till it arrives.
One thing i've learned, you gotta have spares!

Uh-oh, I think I missed something here ................ wasnt I suppose to do something with that Genesis Canopy Jerry? Forgive me bud if I was amiss.

Jason - hey bud, whatever happened to that damaged gas Cat you got months ago? Did you get to fix her up?

I maybe in a position to be handed a F-41 Stryker Cat that has a badly damaged left sponson - upper half completely gone. Left bottom ride pads got damages too. If I get to fix her up, I guess I have a 4th gas boat!
