[QUOTE="airshot, post: 504544, member: 1183"] I have to agree somewhat, my son who was an experienced machinist was told by a 150k per year engineer with numerous pieces of fancy awards hanging on his wall and has written many engineering tutorials told my son the when he ran a standard tap all the way thru a piece of metal, he would end up with a left handed thread on the oposite side !! No kidding !! He just assumed the guy was making a joke and made fun of his statement....long story short, the engineer was pissed and when my son proved the error of his statement, my son was fired !! I don't have enough fingers and toes to count the number of times " highly skilled" engineers have given out information that was untrue or based on theroy only. I have owned numerous boats in my 60 years of boating and had manuals for each one, never saw a recomendation for keeping it in gear for wear purposes ! To each his own, your boat, but I do believe there are other more serious areas to look at for wear concerns... [/QUOTE]
