I am looking for a mate to a prop that I have. The hp rating refers to the prop thickness. I have run 525 props with no problems. Here is a pic of a blade in the air.

Doug, don't you know of any YOUNG girls you can go boating with?

Your gonna need a stronger, ie thicker propeller or this is just going to continue to happen again and again and the damage to the drive will be worst than the cost of the propeller.

Rik I agree with the thickness issue but the 850s losing a blade was more a prop management issue. I had a nick and chose to address it after the run. Didn't need to, lost the blade. Cool picture but costly! Dinged a 16.5X37 at Havasau so really just trying to complete a set. . Young women do not have much interest in old, fat guys with no money.
