    Bent prop shaft

    I guess you can say I found somthing that the ETech is not bullet proof against. I was on Toledo bend and running slow out of the boat lane in a cove and prop manage to hit a stump. It killed the engine. I started it back up and went to move along. It made a sound like it was cavitating. Didnt think much of it since I've run up on stumps before. Got back to the landing and checked it and sure enough prop has the wobble to it. Looks like $600.00 + and I'll be back in business.

    Dat's why you have insurance , you hit something underway right! Right! BTW have your local wrench check for a twisted GC there is a special tool to verify CG's. You may not want to have trouble down the road.
