some props can do that. mine did when i switched props. the cure can be to grind the trim tab to clear..

or if ya got power steering, ya don't need the trim tab anode and car replace it with one w/o a fin on it..

I think you mean anode, not nano....

Just file a bit out of it, like ziggy's done in his photo.... Just don't grind it on a bench grinder.. The zinc/ali alloy clogs up the wheel and the next time you try to grind steel the wheel gets hot and they can explode!! :eek:...
