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 ??

Things done at the last possible minute are done with the greatest possible information. Procrastination is, therefore, the most efficient means of doing things.
