No, not really. the break was slightly, even green. The boat was hauled for
about 2 weeks before I got to look at it

Hi Danny,
In most cases it is pretty obvious if the joint has been exposed to
seawater and/or oxygen for any length of time. A "bright"
bronze is recent exposure. Normal power washing won't clean up
tarnish.
Any indication of fresh bronze in the broken area?
Cheers,
Russ

The guy at the yard checked buck
algonquin with no luck. I did look around and there was no apparent
neglect. However, they had already powerwashed everything by the
time I got to see it. It is obvious they are not owning up to it
and I have no reason to think otherwise except the fact that there was no
noticeable change while motoring...
I just heard from him and he going to try and get me a photo of it.
The guy at Holland Marine said he might have some old stock laying around
and might be able to match it up.
I'm assuming this isn't the only boat that used this strut...

Have you checked Buck Algonquin for a match?

So, my prop strut was broken when they hauled my boat this year. I
got, "did you know your strut was broken? You must have had terrible
vibrations." I didn't have any that I noticed. Then he says, "
maybe you should go to a regular prop" I said " that set up has
been on the boat 40 years without an issue..."
Anyway. They say that they can't just buy a replacement and that i
need to have one fabricated! for $530!!! OUCH!
