sorry if I write a long story here......
im in Long Island sound and bought a Montauk 17 last year with a m90a tohatsu in it. Towards the end of the season i was drifting and cast and came down on top of a rock. I went to put the boat in gear and dinged the prop.
I ran the boat for 2 weeks with no vibrations and not much loss in performance.
the old prop was an aluminum turning point hustler 13.25x17.
Boat went to mexhanic and I sent a box of spir parts I got with the boat. I had a spare prop that looks like a refurb and it is a turning point 13 21.
boat now vibrates or shakes at between 10 and 12mph.
i am thinking’s the the refurb prop is out of balance and not done right.
1.) I would need a 505 hub kit I have one that was given to me as part of the box. I would imagine thag i would need to use the plastic into the prop and then use all the old hardware. Does that sound right?
2.) this 505 hub kit does seem to have the metal in the splines does this seem ok?
game plan would be install new prop and use the hub kit I have. I will go back to the 13.25x17
pics are of new refurb prop before install, prop on the boat, and the 505 kit that I have in my Spain parts box.
what you guys think?
