    Broken prop strut

    The strut snapped on the first run. Looks like it may be a casting issue. There are more than 80 backordered through Horizon. Anyone know of this problem. The boat is stock. Can the torque of the prop snap this part?

      I did not adjust from delivery but I will look. I assume it needs to have no slop?

        That would be wrong you need some for when the flex spins up
