    Damaged Tempest

    Hey guys,
    I noticed this morning that a couple of blades on my 25p Tempest are damaged










    My questions are this:

    Will I cause additional damage to my lower unit from running this prop? (I would obviously not run it WOT in these conditions)

    Should I peel that piece of metal off that is hanging there?



    Been intending to send this off to Mark to get it worked. Guess I am kinda forced to now.

    Thanks for any input.

    Wishin' I was fishin'...

    I would not peel any metal off.

    You risk slinging a blade off running it like it is.

    Box it up and send it to Mark.

    That's also one of the older good Tempest props. A45 series. You can have Mark B&B that prop and you will love the performance.
