Re: Prop
Those dings will cause vibration. <br /><br />I'm guessing it is aluminum, seeing as its on a 45hp. <br /><br />If you are really strapped for $$$ and have to use it, I suggest you take a hammer and dolly and straighten the wavey edges, file smooth the rough edges where bits are missing and all around dress it up. It really does help.<br /><br />If you use it as is, then put on a nice clean new one, you will think your motor runs smoother, makes less noise, and makes more power.<br /><br />You can get a new aluminum for about $75 for the old style Hustler hub system prop. Check out the prop finder in the upper left of the screen.<br /><br />Been there done that.
