you got lucky you didnt break the tip off , that can be fixed no problem , send it to BBLADES , Brett will make it look new again .

Hey Brett
 

If that prop in the pics can be fixed please pipe up. That's almost exactly the same condition as my 30 that recently broke. The pice did not break all the way off...

It would be a nice save!

I'm afraid this one looks too far gone.

After I noticed it , I thought the same thing. I guess I got lucky on that part. I Never lost a prop before but I would imagine that It I would be a violent reaction If I were under speed.

A buddy of mine bought a used Bravo 1 4 blade 24 about 2 years ago, he just recently developed the same crack.

He was told that certain years of Bravo 1s had this problem.
Any one else hear of this ?

New prop is on the boat and I am testing .... B-1 26p rh Labbed.

My turn today- never felt anything hit it, and didn't get lucky- my whole tip is missing

Ouch ouch ouch!

Trash. I have a Hydromotive that looks just like that. These props just cant handle being surfaced.

These type of props are on thousands of surfacing applicatons and aren't failing.
Some investment castings are better than others.

Brett, any suggestions for mine? Any way to fix, even as a backup, or make it an anchor? :lolhit:

Sorry, it's toast.

Building up weld wouldn't be cost effective and replacing the tip wouldn't be accurate or carry the load.
However, those are the two ways to make the rpair if it was the only thing to do.
