    Bravo FS

    Does it hurt the prop to drill vent holes? Reason for the question: I slug a blade on my 30 Bravo and cant find another one to buy ANYWHERE! I found an fS but really need the 8 vent holes like on the xs. Wondering if I can have a prop shop drill additional holes?

    No, Mark drills holes all the time in those propellers without any issues.

    Have you considered the Razor 4 Propellers that Mark sells? I suspect you can get a new Razor for close to the same cost. Mark's Razor 4 and Razor 4XL are similar to the Bravo design with stronger blades.

    Not true.... Only the XL is a Bravo1 style prop.... The Razor4 has 4 OMC Raker style blades and only 14.5 in diameter.... Too many guys post false info causing issues.

    Mike - do you know if the holes that Mark drills into the prop can still be plugged using the vent plugs? Thanks

    Yes... Mark was the first to drill "Dual PVS holes" He has special drills made to plunge once to make the stepped hole to accept PVS plugs.
