Partsman -- NOT True.....although that was the fact with older models, the newer SS prop's/outdrives have a Phenolic (hard plastic) slip ring which guards the drive shaft from damage. Trust me, I know ...... I tested it (not on purpose) last fall in Low water with a Bravo-3 (dual SS prop) outdrive. Now the cost factor of the prop itself is still a vast difference. But as Dave r points out....the performance difference is very noticible.
