[C38] Prop strut crack

[charles at finn.ws]

Pierre,
I think you need to pull the boat and take a look.  While I hope this is 
just a problem of filling compound failure....   the scrape on the 
starboard side of the strut does not look like the normal wear you see 
on the port side.  It kind of looks like perhaps an anchor chain or 
cable scrape.
If you discover it is just filler... great!  But you should also check 
your motor mounts as these type cracks can appear when the mounts 
deteriorate.

If your dock can tolerate it, you might want to snug your lines up and 
run the boat in forward and reverse to see if you have any new vibrations.

Let us know what you find!
