On the way down the coast we ate our 1" dock line into the prop at 2100RPM...
Its now hard to turn by hand.
I was diving on it the other day and the resistance is equal for the entire revolution. so bent is out of the list of why it is hard to turn (thou it may still be bent)
When the diver untangled the prop he took a sledge to the prop strut. He said it was bent out of shape. I can take the shaft out in the water, thats no problem, but what do i look for to replace?
Did i bend the prop strut, and now i need a new one? where do i even buy one of those?
or is it something else?
I could take photos the next time i splash...
what should i look for under water?
