Turned my 88 IG into my slip last week and had to touch the thruster stick only to find that the thruster prop no longer works.
I checked the shear pin under the motor and found it intact. That leaves the prop shear pin which is under water. hauling her out on the hard is a bit pricy and not being sure makes it like pulling the handle on a slot machine.
I have been told that most of the time the plastic prop brakes up when that pin goes. Does anyone have knowledge with thrusters. In the marinas around Grand Haven, Michigan I am unable to find a dealer and or mechanic that is interested in working on this issue. I have been told by one that I should have in hand the replacement prop and shear pin as well as the anode for the unit before taking her out. I am looking for some helpful suggestions.
