need help!!!
Not sure what happened and not sure who to even call. I admit I came out here completely unprepared. I'm stuck right out from turtle creek. I tried kicking my boat in gear and it wouldn't move. I brought the outdrive up and my prop is gone!!! It was put on the correct way last night. Somebody please help me before this storm hits

Put up your distress flag, put on your PFD's, anchor your boat so GPS numbers won't change, and call Marine Assist on Ch. 16. If I saw your flag, you would be in tow in less than 10 minutes. Safety is more important than fish. Good luck. I'd come to your rescue but I'm sitting in Warren OH 150 miles away.

Are you a member of Boat US? If so, you can get free towing... Their number is 1800-391-4869 or Vessel Assist on Channel 16 as Ed stated.
Get that anchor out, put on your PFD and stay safe!

Just signal any near by boater. They should offer assistance. As said, anchor up and be safe. Let us know how it goes.

No such thing? What size engine? Outboard or Inboard? Couple salvage stores in town but usually needs work? Call Erie Propellar if close to Toledo. You will need nut & kotter pins too I presume. I have 4 propellers. Years of accumulated mistakes. Lol

Do you know the correct prop size so we can look through our old ones?
