14 1/2 diameter
23 pitch
stainless steel
2002 Yamaha 150 VMAX 2 stroke
I recently ran aground a few times coming home at night. I was going very slow (less than 10 mph) due to low visibility so none of the impacts were abrupt. One of them was firm enough to stall the engine though. The next morning I ran the boat to make sure everything was ok. It ran great at high speed. At idle speed I thought I could feel a deep vibration that would come and go. I wasn't severe and perhaps I am just being paranoid because I am new to boating. If I would have damaged something would it be obvious? How can i check to make sure my prop and shaft are still in good shape?
