Stainless steel props are being stolen up north! I think they are only stealing volvo penta props dont remember exactly. Since lakes are dry there are a lot of damaged props and there is a demand on them! The thieves seem to target only the expensive props and do know what they are looking for and doing! Boaters beware!

They do seem to be targeting only the stainless steel Props. Most likely do to better resale value. There was a short clip on the news over the weekend on this and the Daily Hearld had an [size 1]article[/size] on it on Friday.

There is a great fix to that. Just keep motor running all the time! [Wink] We stil have that problem, when we catch them it's a good old fashion butt whiping!
