Forget the prop!

it's ok if it gets nicked.

I made the mistake of leaving on the super cool looking stainless steel
Raptor prop.

went through some shallow water, and hit a stump. the stainless steel
prop stopped, and the gears didn't. wrecking out the lower end.

If I had run an aluminum prop. it may bave bent it all to heck but
would have saved a thousand dollars worth of lower end work.

Forget dinging the prop....

The prop hub should have spun before the gears went. I wonder why it
didn't?
