[C38] Prop strut crack

[littlebreeze at comcast.net]

Pierre, that's just the way mine has looked for the last ten years. No leaks, not loose, and no problems. If it is not loose in six weeks when they do the next bottom cleaning, then I'd wait for your next scheduled haul out and address it then. Your in the bay so I would expect your next haul out to be within the next two years.

Subject: [C38] Prop strut crack 

Hello All 

My diver just sent me an email detailing a crack he found while cleaning the boat today. He said he did not see it six weeks ago and I haven't sailed it since November. There have been some storms but the marina is well protected and this being San Francisco there is no snow or ice and the temperature rarely drops below 40. He said he pushed on the prop shaft and noticed no motion or separation around the crack. 

I beg on you experts for some advice on the course of action. The last bottom job was performed just about a year ago and I also noticed a crack (with the old paint) around the same place but it did not yield to my prodding. 

I'm enclosing the pictures. 

Thanks in advance for your help
