It was mine

Now sits in MB marine

Off a DF300, I was just going along one day at a moderate 40 knots and suddenly the engine started vibrating. I thought I had lost one or two cylinders, managed to get back (very slowly) because at 4 knots the prop worked fine and hardly vibrated

I think it was a manufacturing fault in the prop as I dont think we hit anything

Expensive (£600) day out

And no even Steel Developments couldnt fix it

Part of the joys of boating
