Whats the estimated $$$ damages on spinning a prop on a new merc 50hp
or is
it warranty work?




$75 to $100, but how new? It should be a warranty item if the engine is
new.


Wrong again, Krause! The warranty covers defects in material and
workmanship. A spun hub is usually caused by some fool hitting something
with the prop. It's a safety feature built in to keep the gears and or
shafts from being damaged. Unless the owner can show where a defect
in material or workmanship caused the prop to spin the hub he's totally
out of luck when it comes to warranty.

Knock it off already...

Krause is a proven liar, and he has no boat.

Would you take car advice from someone who doesn't have a car?

Would you take *ANY* advice from a known liar?

I have our village idiot Krause in a kill file for a reason, I suggest you
do the same.

if you didn't have to wade through all the dead grass and mud off topic
posts to find one pertaining to boating...........


only three days here and I think I'll pass to something more relevant...


That's the way unmoderated newsgroups are - it's a law of nature I
believe! There's useful stuff and good people here if you are willing to
wade through the chaff to find them.

Everyone seems to be missing the "new" part of the post. It has less
than the 20 hours required for the first warranty review.........

It doesn't matter because all it takes is five minutes for some
fool to hit something with the prop and cause the hub to spin.

This is what they put a hub in the prop for. It spins so the gears
and shaft(s) don't break.
Look at it this way. You drive a brand new automobile off the
lot and then you puncture a tire on a big nail laying in the road.
Is the tire covered by warranty? NO!

Neither is a prop with a spun hub because they don't spin all
by themselves. You hit something. Why not be a man, admit it,
and spend 80 bucks to rehub the prop so it teaches you not
to be so careless the next time around.

I can agree with your concept but I must take exception to your
implication that anyone who hits something in the water is a
fool........

Cap'n Neal thinks anyone who lives at a fixed address, bathes regularly,
and has more than $20 cash is a fool. Really. With a motor as new as
yours, and a spun hub, there is a possibility it was "faulty" from the
factory. What does the exterior of the prop look like? Got all its paint?
Any dings, nicks, scratches?



I would say about 80% of the paint remains, after all, it's only got about
24 hours on it.........


Update............

Returned to the dealer and had 20 hour warranty checkup. They replaced the
prop no charge and cleaned plugs rather than replace them. Everything is
back in top shape, ready to run. We'll be doing ferry duty to a new project
three days next week! Hour and a half out and Hour and a half back....
best part of the job will be the boat ride! Installed new sonar/gps and new
mooring cover so I should be all set.
