So i just got home from deployment this morning.. took the boat to the lake... and everything fell apart ... on the way to the lake mmy hub on my trailer busted.. I put the boat in the water and as I was pulling away, the ****ing wheel fell off.. so we called a wrecker and hee said he would come get the trailer later on... so we decided to take the boat out. First time out. Boat ran so nice.. got up on plan easy (we were worried because the front of the boat comees up pretty high while gettin on plane lol) so we are cruising on the lake and BAM! apparently we hit the only mound that is somehow in the middle of the lake almost.. with no identification...
After we hit it, the prop would not spin in forward or reverse. so we were stuck in the middle of a lake. we paddled until a Cop towed us. I called some boat store and he had me ccheck the clutch cable to see if i could put it in gear manually.. no luck. another guy says when the prop hit the mound it grinded the splines and stripped them? another guy told me to bring him the prop to check it out... either way i have no trailer, and no way to pull my boat out of the water... the cops said i could keep it docked over night... i dont know what to do...
