Prop Mods

[drjay]

Well, I had some unfortunate luck. My zinc anode loosened up and slid down, and my (ss) prop banged into it and then wedged it in. So, I ended up with one bent blade. I'm pretty sure my lower unit is okay, but the prop is out of balance. I checked the lower unit oil and didn't notice any metal shavings but I didn't drain it all out. I'm going to send the prop off to get it fixed/refurbished and was thinking about getting some mods done while it is at the prop shop. They offer pretty much anything; venting, cupping, thinning, etc. Any of you guys have any experience with these mods? I would be most interested in mods that help with hole shot and running shallow, but I'm not opposed to improved speed as well. Any thoughts?
