Anyone has a damaged prop laying around for purchase?
I am in sort of a complicated situation looking for help. I recently hit something in the water that damaged my prop. I was pretty pissed off about the situation and I am very picky so I just bought a new prop and tossed the damaged. Well, it happens that now that the season ended I was polishing the boat underneath and saw that cracks formed on the strut from the impact. Well I guess I missed them and they are VERY EXPENSIVE to fix. Need to go through insurance. Well I told them that I may have tossed the prop and that I will need to check and they said that they NEED to see a damaged prop or a repaired prop to cover anything. They don't care but they need to see something. To me it just sounded that they need some pictures in the file as general protocol. I've been asking around and it seems that without the damaged prop they may just call it wear and tear and won't cover the fiberglass repair. This is stupid because looking through different forums I have seen people with similar damage and the prop remaining intact somehow. So it is possible to not need prop damage. On mine, the shaft is perfectly straight. Actually the prop wasn't too bad IMO. I should have kept it and repaired it as it may have been repairable... But i didn't want to see it. I have told the insurance that I do not want money for the prop. I just want them to pay for the rest of the damage, the fiberglass stuff. So they really should not need the prop if they are not covering that part.
LONG STORY SHORT, DOES ANYONE HAVE AN ACME 537 (13.5X16) OR ACME 1235 (14.5X14.25) DAMAGED PROP SITTING AROUND THAT THEY WOULD BE WILING TO PART WITH OR SELL CHEAP????
