I bent the prop pretty badly when I hit the ground. I was going slalom speed and hit ground a little beyond the last gate. I was on a course & lake that I ski down once every few years in eastern oklahoma. And at the start of last season I noticed some noise near the prop shaft seal. I called SkiDIM and they said that the shaft was likely bent. So I replaced the drive shaft and seal. I took extra-special care to make sure I lined the engine and drive shaft to less than .003". So I replaced everything but the cutlas bearings. I even put a brand new steering system in the boat.
