Fixed my motor than I wrecked the prop.

[Country Dirt Kid]

I had been struggling with getting my motor running for weeks now. I did a lot of research and testing tinkering and learning. At last the motor roared to life and idled beautifully. I took it to the river and carefully backed it off the trailer backing straight off the bunks. I was off the bunks for about 2 seconds when the prob slammed into something hard. I had no chance. Someone put new rip rap around the boat ramp so I think a rock broke loose and rolled out to the base of the ramp. The prop now has a spun hub and some chewed up blades. This sucks thanks for listening.

Rivers are often the worst place to run anything other than a Jet Drive,

Maybe in flyover country. Coastal rivers and bays present few obstacles to boaters.
