Prop on the boat
 
Ok, put an aluminum prop on my boat today and found out that I "DIDN'T" bend
the shaft so I will be out running around tonight and finding out how much I
like or dislike this prop. The guy at the marina says I won't get nearly
the performance out of this prop that I got out of the stainless, but I will
be back on the water nonetheless.

So I should be ready to go for next week.

take care all,

Chris

Prop on the boat
 
Took out the Ranger tonight and ran it with the Aluminum prop. Ran like a
champ, I am happy with it considering I was expecting to lose a lot more
performance than I really did.

Prop on the boat
 
All you probably lost was a few MPH at WOT if its the right diameter and
pitch for your boat.

Chris, I believe you've been the victim of a bum prop. I doubt you hit
anything. Sometimes, especially on newer or never-maxed-out-before props,
blades just break off from torque. Your boat is new, how bout your prop?
Your prop should be covered under warranty. When that busted, what did the
remaining blades look like? If they're just fine, you got a bum prop. Is
it a Renegade by any chance?

So the loss of a $500 prop was worth it (NOT)... But fun

Chris that sounds like a wield failure, even if you hit something the whole blade should not have come off , without damaging the other two in some way,, perhaps your not out 500 dollars. Then again I could be wrong, but I would pursue that if I were you
