Thread: Ouch!!!!!

It amazes me how that can happen and no skag damage. I knocked a skag off once and no prop damage. Get back after them, that's just a hiccup. Mine been in the shop for a week. Tore up axle.

Could you make a fellow a loan?

It happen at the Sorrel launch Tuesday evening as I pulled up to the landing.

I do carry a spare. I'm gonna order a new one tomorrow for back up. I'll add this one to my collection.

New it was bad when it happen. Not sure what it is. Concrete or could be metal. Lot of it in the Spillway.

I use both. Less lower unit problems with Aluminum. Just part of running a boat. I'll try to remember the spot at this landing.

Can always grab a paddle!
Like fish said, glad you're safe
And hope you're up n running soon.

Paddles don't fit my hands.

I've got plenty of back up boats and motors.
