hey guys :)

went out to have some lunch on the boat today and thought it vibrated a little, on way back tested it more over rpm range and for sure it was vibrating like hell. trip was only 5 mins either way to the local bay so i hope i haven't done any damage in that time.

When i moored up i lifted the prop up and saw one of the blades had a huge chunk missing, i don't recall hitting anything. I'm going to get a new prop ofcourse but wondered if you guys thought i might get away without any damage having run it for 10 mins, not at wot, got up to 15mph maybe.

cheers

:)

A 10 minute ride isn't going to cause any problems but get it repaired or replaced.
