    Default 2008 OBV stock prop? (And a story)

    Hey guys- can somebody tell me what the stock prop is for my 2008 outback V (or a good alternative)

    The longer story is that when I got my boat back from dealer storage I noticed the prop is destroyed- all 4 fins bent- which is weird because I'm a experienced inboard driver and I don't remember hitting anything last year and there's no way the boat would drive with that prop that's on it. So I took it the propeller shop that repaired a small ding in it several years ago. It turns out that the prop shop stamps a customer number in the collar on every prop they repair and the prop I took them had no such stamp. The guy at the prop shop has worked there 21 years and is confident that they had never worked on prop I took them. Dealer is acting clueless and has stopped returning my calls. I'm still hoping he'll do some investigating and see if one of the detail boys hooked his buddy up with a fresh prop in the offseason. I'm wanting to order a new stock prop so I can get on the water but since the prop that I have didn't come with my boat I'm not sure what to order. Also if the prop I have isn't the stock on that adds to my suspicion.

    Thanks in advance old school moomba owners!

    I would threaten a law suit if you have proof that your prop was stamped with a "serial" number and the one on your boat now, doesn't. That's some seriously shady shit.

    You might file a police report and a claim with the dealer's insurer. The dealer is responsible for your boat when he agrees to store it. You do not have to put up with this BS.

    A police report is a good idea. Hopefully I can find the receipt from the previous repair.

    Police report, get a receipt and stamping information from the repair shop (he may even have pictures). You may check the tightness of the nut and whether the prop simply slides off the shaft and do that with a camera running or a witness which indicates an inattention to detail on the change out and also a recent prop change. Is it the same exact prop?

    Yeah- the prop slid right off without a puller which I wouldn't expect for a prop that's been on for 6 years. As for whether it's the exact same prop make- that's what I don't know. Anyone know what would have come stock on my boat? The one I just took off is an OJ but I'll have to look at the numbers when I get home from work.
