I've had the same thing happen with a 28P bravo. This was on a light boat w/496HO.

Kinda scary blades breaking off. Is it the design, or cheap casting.
I'm going to Hydromotive Q4x and hope they dont break.

I would also look at Cutting Edge Propeller.

I don’t know what the problem is, but I’m just gonna pin false hope on it only being the higher pitched versions..... I love the way my 22p performs and have a 24p planned for spring/fall air. This thread is definitely killing my mood, though.

I talked to the Mercury Rep in KW this year about this problem, he didn't seem to think, blades cracking at 150 hours was a short time. He did tell me to take a file and file the leading edge all the way to the hub.
