First outboard I have owned over a 6hp. I banged my prop up pretty good yesterday at a very shallow access. Took it of today and I was expecting to see a shear pin but I didn't. Read the owners manual and nothing mentioned about one. Is this normal for all outboards in the 50hp range not to have a shear pin? so what happens if you hit some hard going faster then a trolling speed does the prop just totally get ruined?

I might have missed a guess, but here are the ones that I noted:
JerkinLips – March 27th, then April 7th
Brianf. – March 28th
Bobberwatcher – April….
MikeG3Boat – April 10th
SkunkedAgain – early April, then April 21st
Definitely a tough year for guesses, as it seemed to be a no-brainer early ice out. Then it got cold and snowed again.
