They then replaced them for the most part, but the replacements must be getting pretty beat up now as well. But the abuse they take is unmatched. Saw a guy once go hauling by me as I fished. Heck, he was going so fast he kept going past the edge of the lake right up on to land well into the weeds and covered some distance before he abruptly stopped. Either he was trying a new boat positioning technique that required the boat be hidden up in the weeds completely out of the lake or he wasnt paying attention. Either wya that prop and lower unit got a workout that day
