[@fogwarning101]

Call them out!! Well done, too many content providers coward in the corner and would rather say nothing, then to share their real opinions. Being honest is the only way to raise the bar. Pleased with this video, spread the word.

[@OutOnTheReef]

@fogwarning101 I agreed cap 100% is the only way they will improve 👍

[@danc9440]

That inspection was performed almost 2 years ago, probably sitting on a shelf for that long due to the quality issue. Glad you sent it back. There are plenty of other options out there for you Captain! Thanks for posting up.

[@OutOnTheReef]

@danc9440 great point can this never happen with Solas Props and that's ware I will purchase my next one

[@lendaniels7348]

Good eye Captain! Most would have missed that, or even thought to look that closely.

[@OutOnTheReef]

@lendaniels7348 yes cap very true,and the propeller is the legs of your engine👍

What a shame, Cap. Good catches with those imperfections.

[@Captsteve123]

Did you also order the hub kit for the test prop? I think you should have tested it on the boat, because those imperfections are not going to hurt and or structural to the prop performance. No different than the Crocked Pilot house which you kept. Also I’ve used them and many other props over my 30 plus years of boats. Never had any issues with any props. Currently running an OFS-3 by PowerTech and it is perfect for my Yamaha. Safe boating.

[@OutOnTheReef]

@Captsteve123 lol cap. Thanks for the advice And yes it would have been the same as the cooker pilot house🤣

[@iTerence28]

Thank you for the input. What about the sharrow propellers?

[@OutOnTheReef]

@iTerence28 to expensive and I contacted them to see if they wanted to work with my channel but they ware not interested, maybe they ware afraid that I would get bad results 👍

"Cupped propellers can provide a number of benefits, including: Reduced cavitation, Increased performance, and Improved fuel efficiency. Cupped propellers are recommended for: High cavitation applications, Vessels that exceed 30 knots or 34 mph, and Planning hull boats running at higher speeds."

[@OutOnTheReef]

@robb1460 thanks for the awesome info cap👍⚓️😉

[@cheesewit543]

Just my opinion...You should have given them the opportunity to handle it professionally and make it right before putting them on blast like that. If the shoe were on the other foot I'm sure you would have appreciated that same respect. Even though I disagree with you on this point I still thoroughly enjoy your videos and wish you nothing but success. Keep em coming Captain. 😉

[@OutOnTheReef]

@cheesewit543 thanks cap. I respect your opinion 👍👍⚓️

Have you thought about the sharrow prop? Would be interested to see your real world results with that one.

[@bostondan77]

I went to a 4 blade Solas for my 2320 crooked pilothouse and game changer, it was so much better than my previous 3 blade. I thought you had a 4 blade solas before also.

You should try the Sharron style I saw the commercial watching your video. Looks cool

[@OutOnTheReef]

@@badfrog251 thanks cap

[@bigk7788]

You'd think the dent would cause a vibration. Then that spot they tried to patch you would be running a risk of it failing and coming apart in rough seas.

[@OutOnTheReef]

@bigk7788 there is a possibility cap

[@robb1460]

My general opinion is adding more horsepower to a propellers pitch lowers the RPM giving you longer range on a set amount of fuel

[@OutOnTheReef]

@robb1460 thanks cap. And now I will purchased another branch prop and take it for test to see how it performs

[@micuraPR]

There’s too much at stake to rely on a low quality propeller. Yamaha SWSII is expensive but you will have peace of mind. For lower priced props I have had very good experience with Stiletto propellers. Used them on Yamaha F150s and the old F225s with great performance. Good luck.

[@OutOnTheReef]

@micuraPR thanks cap. You are awesome, I'm purchasing a 15.75 by 15 pitch I think that will work

[@luxorbill269]

If those are cast under pressure, something is really wrong. The defect on the lip looks like a void of material. There could be a bigger void that you can't see and the whole thing fly apart...on the water!

[@OutOnTheReef]

@luxorbill269 that is what I thought cap

[@johnkosowski3321]

Honestly, that looks like a great propeller, and Turning Point has a great reputation. Were you buying that to display in a museum or use as a propeller on your boat? I would have at least tried the propeller before sending it back. There is little reason to think that the "dent" that was hardly even visible in your video would cause any issue ever. Further that hub imperfection is just not an issue. You are suggesting that the company "scrap" a perfectly good propeller. If they do that sort of thing, then they will have to raise their prices.

[@OutOnTheReef]

@johnkosowski3321 I had purchased lots of propellers in my life and never ame across quality like this cap. Don't lower your quality standards please because that makes companies like this not to improve and could not use it because tha seller will not take a use return on a damaged build prop

[@rudyu2767]

@ John, Are you really defending this really bad build quality of this Propeller. Individuals like you is the problem why companies are producing this type of stuff and getting away with it. If you are paying a premium price, the quality should be premium. No exception. You probably work for this Propeller company lol. This is an American made product and it should look American not Chinese.

Those seemingly small flaws will turn into massive vibration and cavitation issues that can damage the rear seals on the lower unit over time, glad you didnt fall for that mate!

Hecho in China? Heavily cupped. Think the aft edges are from cupping, not dented. Just not well done. Get yo dinero back. Looks like metal, during forming, had bubbles. We used aluminum all the time. Saved the lower units on impact and no big performance drop off. Well done on the vid, cap.

Hi Capt. I wonder if 'Quality Control' guy Chuck is just incompetent, or if that is how the company trained him. (paint over/cover up mistakes!) It's OK to make a mistake, own up, and send the faulty prop back to the melting pot. But to do a haphazard attempt of trying to hide the faults is not good business.... Good job for you to catch the flaws! Old guys like me with bad eyesight may not have seen those until it was too late! ☺

Do yourself a favor and stay away from cheap aftermarket props and go OEM. Solas, powertech, turning point, Michigan Wheel, etc.. will WORK, but genuine Yamaha and Mercury props are simply far superior. I’m a Yamaha man, but nobody builds a prop like Mercury. Look into them, swallow hard when you see the price, and buy right the first time.
