I work for my father. He owns an outboard repair shop. One day I was testing a customer's boat at the lake. I felt a vibtation from the gear case so I shut the engine down and tilted it up. Once I got back there I noticed the propeller had worked its way to the end of the shaft...The nut had fell off...no key I guess. I reached for the prop and it fell to the bottom of the lake...About 8 feet deep, dark and cold water.I noticed where I was , about 30 feet from the ramp..I loaded the boat up and went back to the shop and got another prop...I went back with a piece of pvc pipe with a bent landscape nail duct taped to it...I launched the boat and anchored down in the general area...In about an hour of probing around Ihooked the (STAINLESS PROP)<br />NEVER GIVE UP WHEN YA MIGHT HAVE TO PAY FOR A $500.00 PROP
