Spun Hub on Twin Engine Setup Question

[peterb]

I have twin Yamaha 150's on my Classic SeaCraft. Some rope got caught on one of the stainless steel props this evening.

When I tried stepping on the engines the one that had the rope caught acted like I had spun the hub. The prop in question is a 17ML. I will take the prop & hub to a nearby prop repair shop. In the mean time would it be possible or foolhardy to temporarily use an aluminum prop?

I am on vacation this week and want to get back to using the boat asap, but don't want to do anything to stupid.

I would greatly appreciate any advice.

Thanks

Peter
