Can't say I have ever seen it come clean off like that before.

That sucks. I've lost a blade, but not so close to the hub.

Yeah I've been running the snot out of that prop for over 150 hours...., just glad that it didn't take out the cavitation plate on the XR or do any damage to the rest of the drive or the boat

was about to ask if it tore anything else up. Glad it didn't!

The one time I've had one come off like that, it took out the cavitation plate and the lower as well. You got lucky.

File that rough edge down and run at 3/4 throttle, you'll be fine.
