I purchased a new Solas prop about a couple months ago. The same part number as the last 2 that I have had on my boat so it is nothing new. I went fishing yesterday and before I left I noticed 2 marks on the prop. After a day on the water the 3rd blade has a mark. It's really weird, there is nothing that can be in contact with the prop where the damage is and the "scratch" marks are in direction about the axle like would be expected if it was hitting something. I added the red line to illustrate the "scratch" direction. I had recently adjusted the trim tab but I don't see how that can damage the prop. Has anybody seen this before?
