This is a (**() mystery to me…
I was out last weekend fishing around folly creeks, pulled up to the last spot and caught a few spottails. When I went to leave I started up the motor and went to pull up the anchor and it was stuck as could be on the bottom. Ended up having to cut the anchor line. Then, I go to put it in drive/forward and I go nowhere. Pull up the motor and the prop is gone?! Has anyone ever lost a prop just sitting there? Maybe the cotter pin had already fallen out and when I gave it gas it spun right off? No idea…
Anyway - Thank you to the 2 gentleman who gave me a tow. I know I ruined their last fishing spot, and they did not hesitate at all to help me out. I really appreciate it and owe you guys one!
Now, I need a new prop. The boat is a 14.5 ft old Renken that I fixed up with a 25 2 stroke yamaha on the back. It’s a small creek boat - single wide. I’m just looking for a cheap aluminum prop if anyone has one they want to sell, or if anyone can lead me in the right direction as far as where to go / what to buy. I don’t really know the first thing about what pitch I should be looking for and that sort of thing. Any help would be greatly appreciated!
