    disc brake binding - only in reverse direction

    One of my wheels spins easily in the forward direction but not in reverse. In reverse, it binds and cannot be rotated without significant effort. The inside brake pad is causing it to bind and I see that the pad has some play in it. The movement is lateral to the rotor, not in and out...

    Hot-rodding a C-Dory

    Has anyone used a jack plate on a C-Dory, i.e., a bracket that can elevate the motors vertically? It appears that the lower unit sits pretty deep in the water, and I am wondering if a surface piercing propeller would benefit performance. Any comments from the forum theorists on this?
