Had my first prop mishap tonight. Going about 5mph in 4 ft of water with my 97 Sport Nautique and heard a thud. The boat seemingly ran fine (no vibrations, etc) for the 3 or so hours that we were out there.
Got home and realized that there's about a 45% bend about a quarter to half inch long on the tip of one of the 4 blades.
I know that this could eventually lead to other problems but is this something that I should get fixed ASAP (I've got about 10 people coming to hit up the lake this weekend)? Can I bend this back myself? What's the best way?? Is it even worth trying myself or should I just get it to a prop shop?
I'm somewhat of a rookie when it comes to stuff like this, but believe me, I'm learning how many problems a guy can have. Frustrated.
Any advice would be greatly appreciated!
