Mercury Prop WARNING!!
Mercury has issued a service bulletin regarding failures (throwing blades) on ALL Mercury props!!. Warranty period is one year only.
Even a drawing was issued as to where to look for surface blemishes or cracks (at the blade root)....
Seems now Merc is in the same boat as Hydromotives throwing blades.

Being a servicing center for propellers we have heard our share of client experiences. But you have to remember that some blade failures are due to improper finishing after they have left the manufacturers.
