Turns out it was just WEED! WEED kills! lol Threw it in reverse, knocked em off and away I went.
Thanks for the help anyways.
I still haven't tried this yet. Ive been lasy since I got in the water.
George,
Have you done this before? Looking great! Its amazing to see it coming together! Well Done.

So I don't start a new thread on this, I need to order New Gauge bezels and the part that your steering wheel bolts to due to corrosion. Whats the best place to order from?
We have the same issue on our lake. I think they've cleaned it up alot, but the weeds are really bad in the cove areas. Does make for great BASS fishing though!!
I haven't been to Greenwood Lake...
I appreciate the help, once again from everyone. I may have jumped the gun on this with thinking there was an issue other than weeds, and hopefully that's the case. With just getting over the last...
Actually there were weeds on the prop, when I got back from that ride. I just didn't think twice about the weeds causing that problem, so I never mentioned it, until the mechanic mentioned it to me....
Yea, I did try to spin it counterclockwise as well, as much as I could without getting into the water, and with both hands. It was dark, last night when I tried, so I didn't get out the waders and...
It spins clockwise in forward gear pretty easily. I did however just talk to my mechanic and told him what it was doing. He know I live in a cove that is very heavily weeded right now, and he said...
I will have it looked at on Tuesday. I hope that's all it is. I'm going to have to remove the lift, and just tie the boat at the dock for now, until I can get someone to dredge the bottom a little...
If its the prop hub, how expensive is it to fix?
I just checked the prop. With the boat off in and forward gear, I can spin the prop in a clockwise direction. With the boat in reverse gear I...
Well, I just got back from taking the boat out. I didn't make it too far though. As soon as I got to a spot where I could hit the throttle, the boat started to accelerate and than it stopped, but...
Thats a nice article on the trim tabs! Thanks
Thanks for all the advice! I will definitely get the seat time, that wont be an issue. I'm sure Ill get the hang of the Donzi rather quickly.

DICKB, I can see what looks like the same number on my prop that you have in your picture. Its hard to make out, but I think their the same.
...
Thanks. I will get that info and add it to the post. It was measured on a Gaffrig Speedo. I'm not sure of the prop or the ratio(what is the ratio?). The drive is an Alpha One.
The trim tabs I...
I was wondering if this happens to anyone else or if this is just a normal characteristic of the Classic 18. While moving along at about 40 or so, when you hit wakes just right, the front of the...
Has anyone else experienced this issue?
Funny you said that. I just got the boat back today. After a full tuneup, spark plug wires replaced, all filters changed, and almost having the coil replaced, the mechanic figured out that it was a...
Here's what I know so far. The marina has done a full tuneup and replaced all filters. They have hooked it up to a machine and the machine didn't find anything. They have ruled out a fuel issue and...
Mine was also winterized. I think running the fuel out and trying new gas is a good idea. Im going to run it tomorrow and see whats going on. It more annoying than anything, especially since I...
Thats what I did 2 days ago. We emptied it into a jar at the marina and there was no water in the bottom of the jar that we could see
Thanks for the info
True enough! I'm definitely mechanically inclined enough to do it. Ill have a look before I send it off tomorrow. What side of the motor is it located and where do I get the new filter? I have to...
Thanks for all the responses. I'm taking it into the marina tomorrow. Ill let you know what I find out
Good! I don't live anywhere close to a Donzi dealer.
