[C320-list] Neutral or Reverse

[Adam Weiner]

Dear Dick and Al, Wes, Orlando and Everyone Else:

In the seven or so years that I have been on this list I have learned
that it is okay to discuss religion, politics, sex and Orlando's
underwear.

However, you are looking for trouble if you bring up:

1.	Folding props and types thereof vs. non-folding
2.	Battery chargers
3.	Batteries (how do you put a golf cart on the boat anyway?)

It seems that 80% of the posts over time are based on those three
subjects.  

My recommendation--if the prop/charger/battery isn't broke--don't fix
it.

Adam

    what's going to wear out? when it's in neutral none of the gears are
engaged, other than the main shaft rotating nothing else should be
moving. I've always left mine in neutral an in nine years haven't had
any problems yet.
