My pops was heading out in the straights today when he said the engine suddenly started making a horrible noise, said he shut it off right away and eventually found an entire blade of the prop was missing. I’ve never seen or heard of this happening, but I’m more concerned about the rest of the lower unit.
-will the ~5 seconds running two blades wreck the bearings in the lower unit?
-we have a spare prop that appears to be used (got it with the purchase of the boat a few years back) is it a good idea to use?
-any prop recommendations for us? Boat is a trophy 1802, 135hp merc 2stroke about 3400 lbs ready to fish
