Does anyone know if there is a bolt on that will allow the prop from ever comming in contact with a stump or rock? kinda like something that would extend in front of the pro to deflect the obstruction? like a stabilizer that goes on the cavitation plate, but around the prop?

Re: Preventing Prop and Shaft Damage?

There are devices on the market that go around the prop but I've not seen anything that goes in front of the prop (for obvious reasons).<br /><br />I have not tried one myself, but I have been told by those that have, that it kills the performance. The manufacturer claims it helps performance.<br /><br />Good luck!
