mole2 - 6/11/2006 1:19 AM ComProp? I had one come apart on me. Sent it back and they sent me a new one. I noticed the model number had a different letter on it so there must have been a change. Is yours a ComProp? It does have a lifteime guarantee if it is.

it is piranha with a life time guarantee, but would they ship it overseas free?

I had one of those (Pro-Pulse) do the same thing..

ONLY use those as a backup/emergency prop and go straight to the docks with it... Get a good stainless prop and don't look back!

The few boater that I know that has tried useing the plastic composition props did not keep them very long . For shallow water use aluminum and keep a spare or two . For speed and deep open water go with stainless steel .

A rope might have been the culprit ? ? ? ?

"throwing blades" is when the prop and boat becomes airborne and re-entering the water @ 6000+rpms creates enough torque to break them off. Common with "worked" props but never seen all 3 go at once. You are my idol

TrollnHeel · 06-12-2006, 12:20 AM

OUCH!!!!

propper_advice · 06-12-2006, 06:03 PM

Lucky thing that you were using a Piranha, otherwise the lower unit damage would be extensive! Piranha does offer a lifetime hub warranty, and given the damage, I would take advantage of that. Blade channels could be loose after a significant impact, and future blades would be more likely to break.

LOOKS LIKE YOU TOOK MY GIRLFRIEND WITH YOU AND HAD HER LOAD THA BOAT.

Preoccupation · 06-17-2006, 10:46 AM

Must have been a heck of a ride...

blueh20pc · 06-17-2006, 12:47 PM

Buy a SS, then send the Plastic back for replacement and keep as a spare.

Composite = fancy name for plastic.

Glad you got back, around here 1000 feet of water means a 45 mile ride home.
