Post GDSD 35
I have a question that i hope someone can answer. Underneath the prop is a fin that is bent slightly to the side. What is that for? It has moved all the way over and i have seen a decrease in speed . any help is appreciated.

The bend in the verticle fin below the prop is to offset prop torque.....

Really doubt that bend has changed any though - more likely you
are getting some prop wear from that neked mud runnin' ! ! !

On a new 3 blade GDSD prop the blades measure 3 1/2" across in the
widest or fatest part of the blade - the first little bit of wear actually
makes you run faster - but when the wear gets worse and your
blade gets to 3 1/4" across it begins to loose speed and performance
and at 3 1/8" you will be over reving and bumping the rev-limiter all
the time....

When they are less than 3 1/4" - you need a new prop...
