So i put a brand new wheel on the motor and made a 10 mile run out to my camp (which is very close to BFE) with 4 guys and a bunch of crap in the boat, unloaded, and went for a ride by my self and my prop shaft sheared right at the last thread behind the jam nut as i was runnin. I swam around the bayou (about 2 feet deep) lookin for the prop for about 45 min... no luck. this ever happen to anyone before? and does anyone have a metal detector they could let me borrow?

damn that sucks ... never heard that happen before

big magnet Isnt the shaft steel it should find it. providing it went in the water and not winging into neverland.

Happend to me with my prodrive.

I have a metal detecter you can use.

I wish a magnet would work but stainless shaft and prop and nut.

My buddy had the same thing happen to him one afternoon but he was in an area with dead trees. It broke in the same place with the same brand mm you have.

Yeah i was runnin good water and didn't hit anything when it broke. A big thanks to SWM for comin to help me out in the middle of the night.

lost a couple over the years, once with a outboard, when i jumped in to look for it i landed on it!!!!!

never found the one for the pd or the mudboat.

That frikkinsux. Sounds like my luck. Never heard of a shaft just shearing off in open water.

none of these props are pure stainless, a magnet will grab it. good luck

I went today and tried the metal detector... apparently it picks up every oyster shell, and i pulled around a small oyster dredge for a while and still no prop
