    Bent shaft on motor...

    I was fishing a tournament today and ran in to a stump going about 7 mph and bent my shaft. How much is this going to cost me?? And does any one know if you can claim it on insurance. thanks for any info.

    I threw a prop blade after hitting something in the water back in the fall and also bent the prop shaft as well. With the new prop and shaft and having the skeg fixed and all the labor it was around $1700. Yes the insurance covered the damage minus the deductible.
