    CAVITATION
    Cavitation should not be confused with a sheared propellor pin.

    Wise words 😯

    My late friend, John Dertinger of Delhi ON, Cdn outboard racing champion,
    was/is still known in FL AOMC circles for his ‘Eskimo motors’,
    ie; OK-15 & 20s, which he would sell, and pay for his winter vacations .
    Folk there still ask me if I brought any down ?
    We had a number of them as kids in the ’60s, blew them up on Mini-Max’s,
    and by using too little oil. We thought the OK-20 was the racing version,
    becase it had 4 stud detachable heads.
