If your props are labbed then you might want to have a talk with the company doing the work.

Stock Bravo props should not be throwing blades

apparantly it is a common problem because of prop surfacing and flexing the blade.
just wondering if anyone has come up with a solution.

Had an 06 38/600 XR drive boat. Ran 5 blade Maximus, never thru a blade, but did brake a drive.

you will alway's break the drives, it's the weak link.
Have to upgrade to the IMCO scx. You can get away with with using the sc lowers for a while with the scx uppers.
