[QUOTE="Sinkingfast, post: 397582, member: 15306"] Been working on this project since fall of 2014. 1232 jon with a 1976 15hp. Internal cleanup with my die grinder. No port changes. Solas 4 blade 8p prop. Fantastic out of the hole for a 13cu motor. I'm old so I am at half throttle or less most of the time. The boat is a lot of fun. Issue is I pulled out the boat for a local trip to another water hole and found erosion on back side of the prop, half inch from trailing edge, half inch long by 1/8 wide, 3/4inch from tip on all 4 blades. I have spent 3 or so hours reading but no fixes to speak of. I think the leading edge is too blunt causing bubbles and then collapsing at the erosion spot. Maybe sharpen the leading edge? Anybody with experience on prop erosion? [/QUOTE]
