Happened this am. Is this something that just seems to happen, bad hub ect. Or something I could've prevented?? Prop was installed correctly.

semper fi 08-07-2008, 12:21 PM Those things happen just take it to a good prop shop and they can re hub it good as new just be sure you follow their break in process.

That's good CJB! :) ...another possible issue that I see are Bass & I-Boats pulling tubes n' skiiers this time of year/Aug, which puts alot of torque on a speed prop... cjbrown 08-08-2008, 12:50 PM I swapped props with a gentleman over on BBC. He said it was sitting in his shop for the last 2 years, mighta had sumthin to do with it. He picked up the bill to get it re-hubbed, nice honest, standup guy. Capt. Redbone 08-10-2008, 08:24 AM Mercury has a solid (metal) hub that fits alot of props. But not much in the way of protection against hitting objects. If your pulling skiers often this will work well.
