Hi gang...hope you can help with some advice as i hope I haven't ruined
the rest of the summer for the family! I was just throttling down and coming out of plane at about 18-20mph when the bottom fin and aluminum propeller on my stern drive Mercruiser 4.3 Alpha stared hitting some boulders that were sticking up from the bottom. The fin now looks like it may be bent a slight bit and there are numerous small bends in the prop fins and a few chips as well. I have switched out the prop and tested it out and do not feel any vibration..seems to be running fine, but I am concerned that I should have it inspected and not be running it....have my test runs already done damage? Is it ok that the fin is not completely straight? |
