    Where do store your spare props. I have a 3607 Aft and 2 spare 22 x 22 bronze props and I'm not sure where to store them.

    I am hoping I can find a spot in the engine room, but I'm not sure...

    Any help or suggestions are greatly welcomed.

    Hi,

    IMO, Unless you are planning on going well off the beaten track you might be as well storing them in your garage at home and having them shipped where and if you need them.

    Is there room enough on a 3607?

    And are they in or out of the box?

    Keep in mind the weight. Don't want to mess your back when you have to remove them. On that boat Phillip has a good idea, but unless you're traveling more than a day's run from home K1W1 has a very good idea. Do you see yourself diving in and working in that water up there? Once you're going to haul you might as well have someone drive them to you within a day's cruising range.

    I would agree with KIWI, unless you're going on an extended cruise many days away, those are big heavy wheels to haul around on a daily basis for a 36' boat.
