    Another Prop Bites the Dust

    I had that happen to my x640. It looked smaller after I re-sharpened it. Never was as good after that.
    Cu-Be (Copper-beryllium) props are easily moldable and cupable, so I am getting a S220 Prather Stainless steel proper, which is better at preventing dammage.

      OK Amishjeb, looks like you have it all figured out.

      Make sure you tell us how you do.

      BTW, nothing will prevent damage when you hit something...

        Well, would you rather have a bent prop or a chipped prop? I think the stainless steel will chip more than bend. I usually run my boats on big lakes or the Great Lakes where nothing usually hits the props. I received my L38x55 prop, which looks beautiful. I am waiting on a prop balancer on e-bay. Hopefully, I get my new water jacket and prop from OSE, so I can run my boat one final time before it gets too cold to go in the water.

        I will let you know my results Bob.

          I would take the bent over chipped..
          the Stainless wont bend and could cause damage to the drive if something hard is hit with it..
