Engine damage do to prop impact?

Post by tdogg »

Hi all,

Quick question, would engine damage (causing misfiring) be do to prop impact?

Having engine issue after repair of transmission by marina. Went for seatrial and could not test WOT due to starboard engine misfiring, losing power on the top end.

Would this just be a simple fix with spark plugs, wires and cap? Or could damage have been sustained to the engine to cause it to vibrate in neutral and lose power?

Any thoughts would be much appreciated.

No , it is unrelated to prop impact . Now a bent prop/shaft cam make it feel like its running bad .

What Prowlerfish said. Your prop could be nicked or the shaft bent slightly. Things that spin fast like balance 🙂
