I was browsing through some threads and ran across one about the boat topping out at 25knots (+-) at full throttle. One of the replies suggested that the prop might be slipping which lead me to 1000 other threads about props.
I have a 19' Sorrento, 4.3L. I bought a few props back in the day when it was new (original owner) and was wondering if there is an expiration date (arbitrary or ???) for the rubber impact . I can't say for certain how many hours I have on this prop but I only have 416hrs on the meter. It's a 15x17, AL, stamped "Michigan Wheel". I think the prop might be 35+ years old. I primarily use it for water skiing/wake boarding and less than . I've attached some pics but it looked pretty good (to me). I did notice a little "sparkly" metal dust on the outer washer.
