    Prop Severe blowout.

    Just had this prop fixed last week. Holeshot it's good till the boats starts to break over. When it does the motor revs up and the boat sits right back down. When it was beat all to pieces least it would get up on plane a run. Could they have got the pitch wrong on the blades or? I'm not sure what make the prop is off hand as well. Any help would be greatly appreciated.

    Blade area removed, Cup not put back, backwards pitch could all play into this. Who did the work? I'd be sending it back for free fix. It may never be fixed though.

    Put a cavitation ring on it. If that don't work you probably got screwed on the repair. You may have have the cav ring on it when you sent it in ahd they didn't put it back on when they sent it back.

    A reputable prop guy here in Arkansas. When his dad told me I hope we got it back to new for ya, I should have known it might not been right. No cavitation ring was on this prop.
