Try this again!
Lost blade on right hand motor, went through cavitation plate then made a hole in the right hand tower housing, then ricocheted into cowl on left hand motor. Have 7 of these 2 blade props now, the prop picture is from 06'.(Had already installed spare gearcase by the time I took picture of the tower housing)

Merc Racing has been fixing all of my stuff, under warranty, until this past spring, when they began to indicate, that they would no longer honor the warranty. After putting me through much duress, MR came through and did honor the warranty; however, MR stated that this was the last time.
My warranty is good though April 2010, and since I feel, this action by MR is a breach of contract, I have be in contact with the State of Florida, Attorney Generals office.
