Interesting thing this morning. Boat is hauled out for painting. Found it needed cutlass bearing on the port side as well as stuffing box. Starboard side had been done by PO when we found a rock with the prop. At that time both props were pulled and balanced etc.
When the port prop was pulled the mechanic noticed that it is marked "S" and also is marked "25RH23".
The starboard prop is marked 25LH23.
So the question is "huh?" Did the previous yard put the props on wrong and rather than haul the boat again, switched something on the transmissions (Twindiscs) or the shifters to compensate for their ****up.
If so, what is the downside of leaving everything as is? I have not noticed anything when operating the boat, but then again I would not know what to expect.
Or are we just chasing our tails? Anybody have any experience with something like this?
