    225 proxs fs vibration

    On the water currently and after a run and set down to idle by a vessel motor has picked up an odd growling vibration with less power and has me leery to even put on plane. Anything I can check or do on the water? Halfway thru day 1 of a 2day :/ I thought maybe I slung a blade but all look normal.

    Just trying to limp home and even the idle has a whole boat shake now, went to check prop again and half of a blade is gone. Guess that’s that.

    Half a blade missing will sure make it shake, rattle and roll.

    I had a similar experience with Fury 4. Scared the heck out of me. 3 1/2 below pad.
