5 points (Impress me with your genius)

You just bought a new boat and notice the prop is old and brittle.

You replace it with an identical prop. After motoring around for a
while you find the top speed of the boat is much lower, estimated to
be 2.5-3 knots and the prop seems to be slipping.

What is the most likely cause, explaination, and cure?


Outboard or inboard, dumbass? I've never heard of an inboard with a
prop that slips. But on my Evinrude 9.9, it didn't have a sheer pin,
and the rubber ring caused it to slip. I had to buy a new prop.


BTW, how can a prop be old and brittle? What's it made of? plastic?




Pathetic Earthlings! No one can save you now!
