Thanks, Mike. I've tried the reverse to neutral trick, but since our entry channel is rather narrow, backing is still pretty risky. Your prop size is of interest, though. I'll have the diver check ours the next time he scrubs the bottom.

You might have your diver clean your prop while doing the bottom. An unpolised prop is only 80% efficient.
