Have not removed the prop, but I should do that to check for line before I take it into the dealer.

Have not had any line in the prop, I’m aware that can take out a seal. Any long term damage I need to worry about ?

Thanks again for the input, I am new here and didn’t know what kind of response if any I would get to this question. Its always good to hear both sides. I came in with a bias toward 4 strokes, not due to lack of confidence in 2 strokes, but I just like the idea 4 strokes for alot of the same reasons that the pro-4 stroke folks here are talking about. I just didn’t know alot about the E-tech’s and wanted more input.

I appreciate reading the information and opinions, thanks for taking the time to post
