I took a prop in to have it fixed, 13 x 19 Alum. from an Evinrude 135Hp 1974. Prop came with the motor I bought last fall.
The service tech looked at the prop and stated it was missing the anti cavitation ring, and there is no ridge to hold one on even if I wanted it.
Questions are - How important is the ring?
What adverse effects can there be from not having the ring?
Should I look to get a new prop and keep this as a spare?
He also stated some people don't like to have them and ask for them to be removed.
Any input is welcome.
