:dono be careful
Not good
wow. bet that rattled your eye teeth. what did ya hit??
doc :)
That is why I have always put a SS prop on every motor I have had especially long ago when running on Toledo Bend. Sorry that happened to you. This kind of lake will eat he aluminum props like candy.
Oh that hurts (the pocket book)......you know, in the waters we fish in down here, no matter how careful you are, it's just gonna happen sometimes, no fault of your own.....I gather that in the picture, you are home and the prop is still on the motor, that you did not have a spare on board.....I don't either, but lots of folks do.....something to consider....sorry for your bad luck....and that cheated us out of another picture of a box of fish.....
I told you to watch out for those gators. Better a prop than a gearbox and shaft.

how long before you're back on the water????I so look forward to your posts with box of fish......
I keep a spare prop in the boat.:fish shouldn't miss a chance to go catching.Quote:

somebody's gonna have to show me how to change a prop before I get a spare....
It amazes me how that can happen and no skag damage. I knocked a skag off once and no prop damage.:dono 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? :donoQuote:

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.Quote:

After you get your new prop on, give it a good spin to make sure you didn't bend the shaft at all... If you can see any wobble at all you need to get it straightened asap.
There's big chuncks of concrete to the left side of the ramp but I guess you know that now. That's why I always use the dock. Water's a little deeper.
Just hang tight. The Parish is getting ready to spend a ton of money and totally redo the whole thing complete with bathrooms!
Not trying to start anything here, jig rig, but that prop is on backwards. That bright ring goes inside the lower unit and the retaining nut should not be visible. If you been running it that way you have been loosing a lot of performance.
You need to look at the direction of the cup on the blade.Quote:

I'll post some pics of a prop side by side,
X2, also once you get a new one on try to tell if their is any vibration that was not there before. Prop Shaft is not really hard to bend when whacking something with the prop like that.Quote:
