The other day I was out I managed to hit a submerged log with my 25hp Johnson. Now, when im wide open, the motor gets louder right at the peak of top speed. It almost sounds like the exhaust gets lifted out of the water a little. So it just might be the exhaust out the prop I'm hearing.
The lower unit looks ok. The aluminum prop looks a little chewed up on all the blades, and one of the blades is bent back. Would the bent blade cause the motor to lift up a little more on WOT causing the thru-hub exhaust to be lifted out of the water? I am ordering a new prop soon, but wanted to know what you guys thought.
