Tough to say from the pics, but if the prop is out of balance, it will eventually wear out the bushing and water can get into the LU.

I am guessing it is aluminum, since you say cracked...NE propeller might be able to repair.

Buy a new one and install it so you can be sure its OK to use the boat, and send the old for repai/balancing and keep it as a spare.

Aluminum props are fairly cheap compared to SS.

Thats my suggestion.

Mike: I just looked at the pics again, Is the skeg bent???
Or is that an optical illusion ??
