Prop Question

Featured Replies

Hello,

 

quick question... my wife ad I took the boat out, unfortunately either my prop was real bad, or we hit something just right but one of the blades of the prop broke, the lake was a no wake area, and we didnt use the engine much (we didn't notice the broken prop until we were finished fishing. Tho right near the end I did note a slight wobble.  what do I need to check for to make sure the wobble didn't cause damage to the motor? leaking seals? etc? I am 100% new to boats, and outboards, so... please be specific. thanks

As long as you haven't run it very long or very hard it should be fine. While you aren't using it trim the motor down slightly and leave it that way for a while. If there are any leaks, you'll see lower unit grease leaking out. From the sounds of it you didn't do any damage, other than just the prop. Get a new one and get it back out on the water!
