Hi everyone,
I posted this under prop questions but didn't get any response, so I figured I'd try here.
Yesterday while on my boat I hit something. A rock, cable, anchor, something.. I lost all power to my prop. The engine was running fine except the prop wouldn't spin. When I would put it into reverse the boat would over heat and stall out. I check to make sure there wasn't anything wrapped around it, but it looked fine. While in neutral the prop spinned freely.
When we got towed back to shore, I took the boat out of the water and put the boat into gear (being shut off of course). I Tried spinning the prop while in gear and it made a weird grinding noise. When I tried spinning the opposite direction that should've been locked it wasn't.
I was told by someone that I'll have to replace the whole lower unit.
Does anyone have any ideas?
The outdrive looks fine. You can see that my SS Prop clipped something because it got grinded a little bit on the blades.
Thanks everyone.
