Advisable? I dunno, but experts would probably say no. How bad is it?
This pic is from my buddy's 175...The thing spins incredibly true and supposedly has been run for the for a few years with the twist (purchased the motor early Spring). We've put a few different ss props on it, (nope, no how, no way any of mine going on there!), lots of run time and still spinning fine...So who's to say? Comes down to your wealth, health and the trust factor I suppose....

I wouldn't trust that on anything that goes over 35mph.
Why risk it?

Are you sure it was Watts Bar. There is a lot more trash on Louden if you went up to the stadium. I got a prop last year.

There is a racer down south (Scott Jordan I think) who had some made, he may still have some. I also talked to Speed and Custom Marine out of Florida a couple years ago and they were supposedly working on a small HP prop shaft to sell. Don't know if they finished it though.....

why on Gge does mother merc refuse to source these any more? Trying to pad the prop division ? I don't get it or their parts marketing strategy as a whole.

Yeah really. I broke my shaft accelerating out of a turn on a test run after I rebuilt my motor... Now there is a very nice tempest 25P at the bottom of the flint river if anyone wants to get it. I ran the trolling motor to a buddy of mine that lived on the river. He had me a new shaft installed within an hour or so, but I had no prop to put on it.
