Thread: So I backed into the wifes car

    So I back the boat into my wifes brand new Audi. I knew it was there. I was more worried about the boat then her car.... The bottom of the drive slit the bumper and the prop dented the back of the car near the license plate.
    I looked at the prop and the drive and there wasn't a scratch... Do you think I should still pull the prop and have it checked??? It looks fine to me.

    It's extremely unlikely the prop is bent. If it's a B-1, it's made out of some pretty tough material... much more so than Audi uses in body panels.
    If it were me, I would build my own pitch gauge. Use 1/4" plywood, an old piece of panelling, or even just heavy cardboard. Make a triangle that fits perfectly under the blade at the tip when the prop is sitting on a flat surface. Make sure it fits all blades the same. That's basically all a prop shop will do, anyway. Their pitch gauges will follow the blade contour a little better but you should still be able to see how close the blades are to each other to tolerances that are better than a new prop is likely to be made. IOW, if it's out a tiny bit... it's not necessarily from the incident.

    The funny thing is, she asked me if I needed her to move the car. I said naaaah' So I get into my rig and put the mutha' f'er in "R" and backed right into the car. It was like my brain just shut off.

    I will give that a look see. I havent had the prop off the boat since I've had it.
