    Default Trolling Motor Prop


    I thought there was some excess vibration at times running the trolling motor the other day and also figured it was also past time for checking for for line around the prop shaft in which some was found and removed.

    I also found out the outside appearance of the prop just might not appear to be in too bad of shape even after touching it up with a file at times




    but it can sure be in much worse shape when looking on the inside.

    Just trolling with it. It has really whumpped some underwater timber at times which bent the pin slightly and goughed the composite out from the grove. I was really surprised the out side prop edges didn't show more damage.

    looks like you hitting something other than timber
    GO BIG ORANGE !

    I meant to behave, but there were just way too many other options available at the time.

    I have broken the blades off, but have not seen damaged in the inside. Maybe you should start fishing open water lakes instead of the tree infected HD.
