Launched from SW after the tide came in. Hit a rock. Caught no trout. Tough weekend. Been long overdue to hit a rock. Insurance game in play so I'm waiting to see how it turns out. Be careful out there.

Here's a few pics.....

That sucks, is it just the prop or do you think you there's more damage??

[Eerman]

Was sorry to see that...hope the insurance man cooperates.

[Jumptrout51]

The pictures don't do it justice. The blades on the prop are folded in 1 1/2 inches, the gear housing is split,you turn the prop and it sounds like you are pushing a shovel across a bed of gravel.

[What a mess]

You passed gator prop on the right on the way down I bet he could fix the prop.

James the owner of the camp did a simular number on his prop / lower unit last year, I hate it for you.

That is a tricky place to get in and out of.

Hope your rig gets well soon.

HEY WAM,, SORRY TO SEE THAT, MORE THAN A PROP, THAT SHAFT IS BENT GOOD, THAT MIGHT REQUIRE AN ENTIRE BOTTOM END. I HAVE ONE IN THE SHOP RIGHT NOW IN ABOUT THE SAME CONDITION, IT HAS REQUIRED THE ENTIRE BOTTOM END INCLUDING GEARS, SHAFT, AND BEARINGS PLUS ABOUT $200 LABOR.

See that now...makes me think how lucky I've been so far. Hate it for you Robbie You've got a ride with me anytime, until yours gets fixed Of course that means I've got to put down the rifle, and pick up a rod
