[QUOTE="edwonbass, post: 441616, member: 14570"] I mangled up the prop on my 25hp Merc. I can usually run 25mph in that boat.Had it out one day and the zinc trim tab came loose and made contact with the prop. The sound it was making had me thinking I blew something in the motor. Suddenly it smoothed back out and I made a run back up the river but kept the speed down between 17 and 20 mph still thinking something might be wrong. Didn't notice until I had it in the driveway that I bent up the prop pretty good. Even all tore up, the prop still did pretty good getting me back to the ramp that day. My new prop comes tomorrow but I will keep the messed up one as a back up!! I'm amazed that I was still able to get that kind of speed with the prop bent and missing a few bits of metal. [/QUOTE]
