Did this ever happen to you???

I was out running today for about two hours. Did a little bay cruise and then a little rough ocean jumping. About 2 miles from my house I lift up the hatch to check for any leaks etc. I find a fitting leaking gas, dripping very slowly. I decide to lift up the hatch, throw the blower on and idle back to the ramp. Just prior to this I ran an 86mph straight away. Before lifting the boat out of the water, I put the drive all the way up. To my suprise, I find this! I didnt feel it hit anything. And you would think I would have. The boat wasnt vibrating any more then usual either. Strange.....I wish I knew what happened. Any clue :angry-smiley-038:
EDIT: Three of the blades are completely bent. The forth blade is untouched! |
Damn it looks like you tagged something pretty good, buoy maybe?

IMO Prop had to be spinning slow if not stopped for the blades to be bent back like that. Especially having one not touched. If really spinning fast all blades would be chewed.

I agree, that it had to have happened when the prop wasn't engaged, or was in reverse, for it to have bent the blades in that fashion? |
