Help on thrown blade
Threw a blade on a mercury racing 5 blade 17.5 x 36 pitch.. 21 degree rake..850 hp prop...running 800 hp thru it. Looking at the hub where blade broke off..looks like it was a manufacturer flaw..any help from previous experience would be helpful.

You'd have to approach Mercury Racing on that.
They have not made the 850HP for a number of years so I'm sure the warranty is expired.
Unfortunately propellers do have a life expectancy. You don't know when they may fail. Duty cycle is huge.
