I appreciate all the feed back guys....I am headed to Steve's in Quitman first thing in the morning. Yes I'm talking about the right side and luckily I was just at idle speed accelerating when I hit the concrete.

Check that prop shaft if you hit it that hard. I know you are proud of that zx and hate that it happened to you. Steve and his wife are both awesome, they will take really good care of you!

Guess I will run it up to rockwall marine to have the shaft checked as well...yes I'm proud but I guess its the nature of the beast when you run the lakes like we do and they are so low.

If you have Steve's work on your prop you will not go wrong. Steve's has worked on mine and it came back better than original (at least that is what I believe). He does great work and turn around is quick.

Just dropped it off ! Great guy

Tommy or Steve? both are some of the best.

If it's a Yamaha the shaft will be bent. I'm on my third propshaft.

Its a Yamaha 225......believe it was Tommy

What does it run to replace the shaft if its bent ?

Something like 300 to 400 bucks. My motor is a 225 also. Might as well have him re-build the water pump while he has it apart.That's if it hasn't been done lately.

Parts and labor aren't cheap these days. What year is your motor? I have an '02 OX66. Runs great but is a gas hog.

Steves prop shop told me how to hold a pencil against the shaft and turn it to check to see if its bent....IT IS BENT!!!! So I guess another 3-400 bucks dad-gum-it.

05 skeeter ZX225

Talked to Rockwall Marine today and it looks like anywhere from $1000-$1300 to replace the prop shaft

Haven't seen it mentioned here but if you have boat insurance, it should cover the claim less deductible. If you have a bent prop shaft and are missing a chunk of the lower unit, try to have insurance cover a new lower unit. State Farm replaced my lower unit on the same type deal. I hit a stump on full plane. Bent prop shaft and bent the skeg.
