[QUOTE="Stumpalump, post: 440998, member: 13140"] Dang it! That sucks. I'm so overdue for a bad prop strike I don't even want to think about it. I run a crappy plastic prop on days I know I'm in the rocks. Saturday we ran from Lees Ferry to the Glen Canyon Dam on the Colorado River. It's shallow and rocks. All I saw were rafts, kayak's and jet boats so a local ex Phillies ball player that we met on the ramp let me follow him thru the tuff spots. We made it but I white knuckled it all day. Knocking off three blades does happen so keep that old two blader with you as a spare. Change your gear lube as well to make sure you get out any gear chunks that may have happened during the strike. A little chunk might not hurt but if it goes thru the rest of the gears it will. [/QUOTE]
