was floating yesterday next to this huge lake house showing some friends that have never been on this particular lake. water was 6 1/2 ft deep. i bumped the boat into gear out of N and turned the wheel to get the boat turned back toward open water. was moving MAYBE 3 mph if that. we must have been sitting right on top of a stump or big rock. as soon as i put it in gear we heard a loud clunk. whatever we hit bent the prop a little bit and completely snapped the rudder off...WTF!!!
but on a side note..you can steer the boat at slow speeds by sticking your leg off the back swim deck to the side you want to turn. haha
