OUCH! Wounded or dead. DEAD.
 

Wednesday: Just finished lunch in Naples and back out on the gulf, smiling and cruising at 80 mph. Suddenly the whole boat was shaking. Shut it down and this is what we found.

4 blade, 17.5 x 31 for #6. Anybody have one? Need one so we can do the fun run this weekend.

Actually a set of 17.5 x 32's would be better.

They say things look different in the daylight. Well, this is like going to bed with a fat ugly chick. In the mornng, she is still fat and ugly.

Have you checked with JT at TNT? He usually has several props on hand.

Yep, he has 17 x 31's. They would get me through the weekend. The boat with the 17.5 x 31's is actually underpropped.

Just got a call from Predator, Nortec in Cape Coral may have a set. :D

Re: OUCH! Help, need a prop!
 

Call Randy at Cobra he probably has them.

Re: OUCH! Help, need a prop!
 

Dennis if your boat was tucked safely away for winter storage like your friends boats back east are, you would not have this type of problem :D :D Like Rog said boating in salt water is rough, especially all year long :D

Seriously I hope the power of OSO works for you and you are back on the water in no time

Re: OUCH! Help, need a prop!
 

I dunno,,,,, seems like a good opportunity to "prop up" now :fish: :fish: :fish:

Re: OUCH! Help, need a prop!
 

We have a set of 1 year old Merc 18x32 4 blades that have been additionally detailed and matched by Throttle-Up. We are currently running our 18x34's.

Re: OUCH! Help, need a prop!
 

If you had the other part of the prop, a little JB Weld would fix dat dair thing up. :rolleyes:

Re: OUCH! Help, need a prop!
 

Yep, that is some great advice and exactly what we are going to do.

Re: OUCH! Help, need a prop!
 

you might want to think about tearing that drive down for a clean and inspect a hit like that will fractor a gear and you might not know it for a while till it gives it up then its to late

Re: OUCH! Help, need a prop!
 

Didn't hit anything. It just got tired and retired itself. A close look at the break shows a gradual crack that had been working at itself for a while.

Re: OUCH! Help, need a prop!
 

dayum skippy...i didn't think a prop would break like that without hitting something. what a bummer

Re: OUCH! Help, need a prop!
 

With all them' doggies pushin on your back, you'd be tired too! :D :D :D
