i have a 1988 celebrity 4.3 mercruiser sterndrive, i was heading in for the day when my outdrive started shaking like crazy i hit a rock or something, i pulled the boat out of the water and only was running on 2 blades (aluminum prop) anyways i was looking at the prop shaft to see if it was bent but it dont look like it but when it is in gear i can see a minor minor wobble. should i be worried? should i take it to someone to look at it?:confused:

Put a new prop on and then check. its probably ok which is an advantage to al. prop. With a stell one it might not and real damage may have happened.

You can't run a prop with that damage
