Normal to bend ABC props just running? MHz mystic

[dasboata]

I'm almost positive that's who did my my prop. He got pissy with me when told him I bent them back. The first thing he asked was if I hardened them. I said no. He never mentioned it until after I bent the blades back. I think he should have said something beforehand. After all, I paid the same price from Dasboata for a hardened prop.

Travis pretty sure you told me you got it from Mark Sloland. Andy Brown does excellent props and knows boats inside out.. Really not his fault the blades bent back none of these props were really designed for the RPM we are throwing at them !!! I also get a $25 charge to run my oven which cost me $700- so it is not something all guys have, and really only a few guys request it

Yeh Andy is probably to used to doing props for those Stinky, Slow gas boat thingys' lol.... haha... just kidding not trying to bash him here... Tis what it is, guess I'll make sure my props come from Chris from now on!

I'm not trying to either. we actually bumped heads at first but we got things settled. He offered to take the prop back and give me credit towards another one, but by that time......i was so ticked i took a hammer to it and took my frustration out on it. I figured if i sent it back to him in that condition, it would insult him so i just told him i tossed it in the garbage. lol

Just FYI, Andy has agreed to look at the props... and help with costs or warranty.... I'm not upset in anyway with him, the quality of his work on the props looked VERY good, def knows what he is doing.... fact is they were intended for a slightly lesser powered boat, like 5s running... Its not his fault in anyway, and he said that there is a fine line when doing them as far as thinning and sharpening the abc props as heat treating them thinned as much as they were also can make them brittle.... basically this all boils down to trials and tribulations of FE boating, I think we can all agree a prop issue like this is not the end of the world.... lesson learned.... guess its like going to your doctor, and not telling him that you smoke or drink when you go in for liver or lung problems lol... the doctor needs to know whats a happenin! lol..

Chaulk it up to the FE gods, I honestly had never seen them bend under load like this before.... but I also have used Octuras 99% of the time in the past so little experience with ABC's....
