Cracked prop
 
This one is new to me. I have a Bravo 26 that cracked about half through from the top fat side not a mark on it. Other thatn the break it looks like the day I bought it. Your thoughts?

unless you are spinnig it some super high RPM, flowed material

I have a matching 26 4-blade that did the same. Never hit anything, just noticed the crack while cleaning one day. Same area you describe and goes about half way down the thick part of the hub.

BBlades Brett fixed a 3" long crack for me when he was at Merc racing. Give him a call.

I ran the prop for a while after repair. Should ask BBlades though.

It actually happens quite a bit. depending on the location of the crack, it may or may not be fixable. Post a pic in prop section for BBlades.
