Default lost prop

a few years back my dad and I went down the river at Parkers and trying to turn around I lost my prop. I mean It came off the boat. I forgot what we were doing down there, but I had to paddle back to the bridge and Dad went home and got the pontoon boat to bring me back. I never figured out why the cotterpin, nut and washer came off, and I could not find the propellar.

I recall when the 6 hp and the 18 hp had cotter pins in fact we still have some for the 18 hp. They should have been a dime a dozen for all we used!
