Re: Comprop
I had one on my 1979 Merc 140. Used it one full year, half way through the second year, I was launching, got in to start the boat. Fired right up, put it in reverse and it died. Tilted the motor up (Thinking I had something wedged between the prop and lower unit), nothing there, tilted it back down in the water. (By this time I had drifted off the trailer), fire it up and put it in forward, and it stumbled a little, then ran very smooth, but I wasn't going anywhere (At least I thought), I was moving VERY slowly. Turns out all 4 blades broke off leaving about an inch and that was enough to manuver back to the trailer and put on my alluminum prop. <br /><br />Told company about it and they said that there was nothing that they could and/or would do about it.<br /><br />Never have tired one since.<br /><br />Hope this helps.<br /><br />Craig
