Feeding the Conway Prop Monster...

Went out yesterday with my wife to find a few and look around a little. Stayed in the boat lanes with the big motor at idle speed while puttering along. Was over by Brannon Access and "ka thunk"! The "Conway Prop Monster" struck! As you can see, he ate a whole blade off my prop. I hope he gets indigestion because it took us over an hour to get back to Caney Creek Access. :)

Wife and I have had a chuckle over it.

I hate that for ya

Wow, looks like stainless steel is in your future.

Appreciate it. Guess my thought is that if you spend enough time out on the water, things like this happen.

Still hope the "Monster" gets a belly ache! :Rofl

Ouch! Hate it when that happens!

Man that smarts a bit

And that prop looked like it was nearly new or at least very well taken care of.

I only run stainless for that reason. One small bump and aluminum prop is history !

It wasn't new. She had some hours before having a "bite" taken out of her. [emoji12]

All I got to say is that if you hook whatever it is that took a bite out of your prop, on a jig pole, you will need the net.

Boat lanes have stumps in them also. That monster is rough.

Yep... Just make the others the same size...:biggrin

Go stainless. I have ruined several aluminum props on our AGFC lakes.

Well, put the new stainless on just now. Curious about the slightly higher pitch (11 vs. 13).

Looks good. I hope it works out for you.

Thanks, Chris. For what that thing cost, it better call fish from miles around! 😂

I run my motor trimmed up. Also if you have a kick up plate between the transom and motor, when your skeg hits a stump, it jumps up. They work pretty good. I need to get one for my boat, if possible. I'm not sure if it will work with the factory power trim.

I figure running stainless it would just chop thru what ever is in its way as long as you just keep the rpm's up😊

Good thing you'd pop the lower unit with that be hit. Stainless is the only way

I agree with the stainless comments. I changed pitches too. But, I went from 13 to 14. I got a couple MPH out of it. DP

Had it out on Beaverfork yesterday and I'm really pleased with the new stainless prop. The higher pitch did give it a few more mph and getting up on plane is quicker. Thanks for all the comments. I appreciate it.

Fish were uncooperative though!
