    How do you store your spare prop?

    For those of you who pack a spare prop on boating trips, curious what sort of storage case solutions you are using.

    I'm most interested in a minimalist solution that protects the prop while not taking up excess space. Tools would be kept outside the box.

    Thanks!

    If I had a spare prop (art in motion, working on it) I would store it in my ACME Weekend Saver Kit, which I do already have. Sits in our rear locker, out of the way.
    You can buy the bag seperately.

      Mine is sitting under a bow seat, likely unprotected (though maybe I wrapped a towel around it). I figure it can handle a little bouncing.

        +1 for the Acme prop bag in the rear locker. Port side for the extra weight.

          The zipper on my ACME, after no use, eventually froze up but it helps to have it in something to protect from the "sharp" edges.

            Hmmm. I need a bag like that but I already have all the tools. I actually want to store the prop in the SUV, not in the boat. Not much spare space in a 206. And unlike you surf guys, I don't want a ton of weight in the boat.

            Maybe one I'll look at Pelican case or a knockoff....?

              I always store a spare prop, I place it on bag or loose under the front cushions, NO issues yet
