Spun Prop Maybe???

Spun Prop Maybe??? - 03/23/21 08:49 PM

Skeeter ZX190, 175 hp won't get out of the hole. Trim down, revs up, bow comes up but just not enough to get this Bug on plane. What's the best way to check to see if the prop is spun? Thanks

Put it in gear and try to spin your prop is a quick check method. Next option would be to remove said prop take to prop shop and have professionally inspected for a fee. If it needs a hub you will be at the prop shop anyhow I would assume.

From the lake: mark the prop and the hub with a marker or whatever. Try to run it, see if marks still match.

Have you done anything to spin it?

I have had press in hubs just flat wear out. If it is spun have a prop shop press it out and put in a Flo Torque if you can.

Good idea. Def try that. I've bumped a stump or two or six, boat's down at Fork. Nothing too bad. Thanks for your help Droyhef
