image.jpg image.jpg image.jpg image.jpg So I once again cant dock start even after warming up the engine and it takes a good 20-30 seconds sometime to get planing so flipped it over and took pics.

It has what looks like a stainless steel prop but every bit of the ends are chipped and there is no smoothness to them. The prop is not bent at all but looks like someone ran it up a sand beach and it got kinda grinded and super rough on the ends if that makes sense .

Would this cause the lack of power to get me dock starting and planning?

Everything felt tight and no slack that I could see but not really sure what I was looking for lol.

Any input apreicaited and sorry for bad pics with phone in water.

Shine a flash light on impeller through pump intake and see what the gap looks like, there is a spec for it somewhere, want to say anything greater than .040 or 1 mm is too much, you can pull pump and measure properly with a feeler gauge.

If your pullin pump to do that you can inspect pump deal aswell to see if there are any spots that are crushed and possibly letting air sucked in
