Nice board you guys have here! Here goes... I recently hit a submerged stump at a very low RPM with my 90 hp merc ob. After inspecting the prop, I notice only a small misformation in one of the blades of the (aluminum) prop and I am able to feely spin the prop with my finger. However, I notice that at one spot in the prop rotation, the circular part of the prop (that actually fits within the motor) just slightly rubs the housing around it. Does this rubbing indicate a bent prop shaft. I realize any bend in the shaft is bad, but is there an acceptable tolerance?<br /><br />This is a brand new (1 month old) motor so I don't want to let a small problem grow.<br /><br />Any advice would be great.
