Urghhhh it happened .

[Rustic-Fisher]

Finally happened ….. smoked a rock with my boat last week on a Kawartha lake , I literally had fished the area a ton a times , and just found a random rock .  Two graphs running .. 8 FOW lots of room … NOPE!!

Gotta thank Kawartha Prop !! They are the guys to see should this happen !!!. Pounded the skeg back to semi straight , replaced prop (stainless being reconditioned) and back in the water in 40min , temp fix so we could enjoy the rest of the week .. No major damage (fingers crossed ) but Jesus what a sound !!

Best part …..  happened on the boats second voyage !

Worst sound is right. Too bad that happened. I think I’ve seen you fish Pigeon recently. Kawartha Prop are awesome. I agree.

The prop shop is good because the lakes allow them to gain a lot of experience.  Welcome to the club.

At least you don't have to worry about having a perfect skeg and prop anymore.

Not the way to treat the new family boat. DANG BRO, nice rig.

Nice boat pal!  Don’t feel bad, I put a tiny crease in the very bottom of my hull on lower Buck 2 years ago on water I know very well.  Fortunately I was going very slow, and fortunately you can hardly tell it’s there, and the boat doesn’t leak any.  But I know it’s there LOL.  I’ve smoked a few props and one lower unit over the years as well.  It happens sometimes!

terrible feeling for sure! Glad you got it fixed pronto.

Ouch...  sounds unpleasant. Don't lose heart, these are not the scariest things!
