> Hello All

> My diver just sent me an email detailing a crack he found while cleaning

> 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
