    Split ear

    Do you think this would cause RPM's to increase? Bumped a stump, I guess harder than I thought, fished around and then decided to make a little run, while running it seemed I was able to run up to 6100 RPM's when I normally turn 5800 to 5900. What's weird is there was no vibration or anything else I could feel. Didn't even realize this until I got to ramp this morning, I'm assuming I did this last Friday. Hoping Mark won't hit me too hard as he just worked this prop last summer.

    Yes as you lost drive and resistance as that part of the prop deflected. Amazed you didn't loose it! Cj

    I have a Trophy Plus that looks just like that. I didn't think it could be fixed. How good do you think it would last if repaired ?

    Will have full confidence in it if Mark is good with it. I’ll wait until he lets me know if he can fix it or not.

    Were you able to get your prop repaired?
