Well looks like we have some smart folks here!!!
When he first got back to the dock I suggested there was a problem with one of the outdrives then went to the pool. When I returned he told me he checked it out and everything was ok.
The following weekend I once again mentioned the outdrives and after some nagging he remembered he had only checked the port side
Tilted up the Stbd drive and !@##@&*O(*&W#^ !!!!!!!!!!!
The nut had sheared off holding the outer prop and it was gone! The inner was fine.
Morals here......
Check the simplest stuff and THINK ABOUT ALL SUGGESTIONS!!!!!!!!!
