Went down to the boat to fit my new prop today, thanks to Tony Davis
Encountered few problems changing the prop in situ in the water with the exception of very cold hands, some very scary Mullet, and some kind of plastic wedged up in the bullet behind the prop!
Fitted the new prop on but did not get round to testing today. Will test tomorrow if fine.
Had a good look at the old propeller and found some nasty damage in the form of what appears to be some very aggressive localised corrosion to the stamped letters of the word "Mirage" on the prop. The prop appears to be ok everywhere else except the damage to the letters as seen in the following photos.
Any ideas as to what might have caused this anyone?
