Odd that the aluminium prop bent the steel shaft. Normally the aluminium props prevent such things I knownif can happen, but you say the prop barely has damage. Strange. Pics of the prop, quality isn't the greatest, but it's plainly obvious there was minimal damage to the prop. ![[Linked Image]](https://texasfishingforum.com/forums/pics/userpics/2021/01/full-115027-82169-prop3.jpg) ![[Linked Image]](https://texasfishingforum.com/forums/pics/userpics/2021/01/full-115027-82170-prop2.jpg) ![[Linked Image]](https://texasfishingforum.com/forums/pics/userpics/2021/01/full-115027-82171-prop_1.jpg)

Mine made a rubbing noise, turned out the starter bendex was barely rubbing. Turned out my key was staying turned in the starting position just a little and was causing it to rub. Now I make sure that I feel the key turn all the way back to run position after I start it plus lubed the switch.

Still making the exact same noise. I don't think it will make the noise in a test bucket. I think they're going to have to get it out on the lake to hear it. Like it needs the drag of the boat to make it.
