Thank you for that info. When I get my first boat I'll know what to do to change out a prop in the make sure my prop don't have any line brass incited the back gears.
It's good to change the cotter pin every so often too. I learned the hard way & lost a stainless steel prop, because my cotter pin gave way, through stress, habitual reuse (bad idea, btw), or corrosion. Lucky, that I was within trolling motor distance to my dock, so I wasn't stranded. Hopefully, they'll soon drop the lake level to do maintenance on the dam, so that maybe, I can recover it.
Use Mercury 2-4-C grease on the splines after cleaning the old grease off....also check that you dont have any wobble by spinning the prop or you could have a bent prop shaft that can compromise your lower unit over time..
Please advise I have had 2 yea I said 2 fury propeller 24 pitch on my 250 mercury throw 1 blade off at top speed . Mercury didn't warranty neither and they are over 700 a peice.. neither prop hit nothing just broke blade off.. about 6000 rpms at top speed on z21 nitro. Can anyone explain why this has happened to me twice now about a year apart?
@@Irishfishingtours how did the fury prop break and was you wide open when it happened? The first time they said u must of hit something. It was clearly I didn't hit nothing.. the second time same thing.. show them 2 broken props with 1 blade that broke in the identical spot and now they they are scratching their head.. still no explanation.
