What went wrong?

[Himalaya]

I once had a thermal problem after the flexshaft was broken and stuck in the stuffing tube. I lost a carefully polished prop but my 180A survived by luck. I mean check your shaft system, ensure its smooth and low resistance when spins up. An poorly installed/maintained shaft also ccould cause an over heat issue.

This was the first run....last night I took everything apart and double checked....shaft looks ok
