I've got a prop that i'm gonna try on my boat & it has a broken diffuser ring. Split down one side & popped clear off.
My boat is a 79 mercruiser 260 with MC-1 drive. I have an exhaust tube on it so the exhaust doesn't exit out thru the prop. Is the diffuser rings only job to keep the exhaust gasses from rolling back into the prop at low speeds? Will it work OK since my exhaust is not going thru the prop?
Thanks.
Jim
