    Does this look a 5 blade prop to you guys?

    We lost a 5 blade prop in the lake. The spot shows to be 11 feet deep on the sonar. By the time I took the screenshot the boat had drifted into 5 feet.

    I'd say negative, but almost impossible to tell from that pic. I'm still curious as to how do you lose a prop in 11' of water?

    I bet it slid off the shaft and sank.

    My dad installed some new prop lock for his prop. This was the first trip out with it. I imagine he did it incorrectly. The bottom has a bunch of trees so diving in is difficult.
