Dave:
I had a similar experience two seasons ago. I spun a prop with about 12-hours on my new motor (the mechanic used the old prop since it was steel). I had no idea what was going on and I was floating aimlessly in the washing machine area off of the weirs. My wife and I were both getting concerned as we were floating toward Govenors Island. I had no idea what to do since I was brand new to boating. Out of no where came a family who quickly and efficiently towed me into the weirs docks where I was able to get Sea Tow to help me out. I gave the guy my card and asked him to send me an email with his address. Of course I never heard from him.
By the way, I'm surprised that this happened to you, as you seem to be one of the most knowledgable boaters on the board. I thought you would have had this maintenence done!
