No sir I have not. But your right, if you blow the picture up I’m pretty sure you can see light through the hole.

Basically have $600 paperweights now!!!

I can say that I have never really inspected the inner veins on any of my props.
Its not surprising that you didn't notice it and I doubt that the seller would not have noticed it either.

i agree I have seen this before on a friends cruiser in marina with SS props. Electrolysis can happen rapidly especially ina marina. It only takes a boat or two to F things up

as for your deal, a year later... I wouldn’t post, I would accept as lesson learned. Inspect upon purchase

There was a post on that FB thing this season of two fancy brand new outboards that had the lowers literally eaten off from electrolysis. They were only in the water for a week. Most the other slips were fine but it’s supposed the next slip upstream had an issue.
