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??

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

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.

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.
PA THE OLD MAN OF THE SEA
