Both of mine broke coming out of the corner
Thanks Mark. I decide to use 1667 on my 91 hydro. The material of Octura is more stressful than ABC. I also have one stainless steel 1667 and its run perfect for me.Guys,
Jim may know the problem better than us. Heat treated propellers can break just as easy I agree.
Sometimes the flexing of the blade just snaps them off. There are many possible causes to this problem.
I do know Mercury Racing has decided to make most of their high performance propellers out of their own
Stainless Steel formula so it happens even more on even bigger boat propellers. In the past and present
I know Jim usually stands behind his products, so I think he will make things right for Roman in the end.
Interesting Topic For Sure,

Thanks for caring about me. I always use a 3M mask for doing something bad things)))Remember to wear great breathing protection when grinding Stainless Steel.
It is one of the worst metals that you can breathe. The nickel content is really
bad for our lungs, even worst than most of the other metals in our castings.
I agree with you in a PP power and I can send all my props to you, Jim.Well this has been going on for a very long time
I think we have overloaded what the H-48 can handle
The new Power Plants out there have so much more power today
Then what the prop was designed for
As Failure goes
I can not go by Pictures
I need the item to test its that simple
As for issues on the land Really?
I guess the alloy of choice that we use is in question
But it was good enough for passes in the 149 and 154 mph range
Watch the 149 run posted on here
As for Heat Treating
You can make the props to brittle
I like just stress relieving them myself
