First tangle with rocks

[john3931]

I officially had my first tangle with some rocks. I don't know if you can tell by the picture. How bad is it? Can I finish the last couple weeks of boating season?

Re: First tangle with rocks

what i would do if it was mine is pull prop buy a new one send that one out for repair, now you have a spare. when prop is off you need to ck propshaft for runout to see if you damaged the shaft. oh and ask the wife for a depth finder....just kidding.

The problem was the fishfinder.
Somehow it was in the simulator mode.

somehow i just had deja vu, just ck the propshaft for runout dont want water getting in the lower unit and causing more problem. probally should ck that too, if its just the prop your good to go. dont run a bent prop its ok in a pinch back to shore but ive seen boats fling blades caused by this,had wear parts prematurely.
