That's a good theory but your prop is spinning so fast that if one blade is broken the odds are the other blades will strike the obstacle too, with similiar results. My suggestion would be to carry enough spare blades to replace them all since it probably wont take much more effort than just pulling two and maybe moving one, assuming you are that fortunate.

Alternatly, carry a fully rigged spare prop (or your old one) and keep the extra blades ashore. This will reduce your field repair time and minimise your exposure to the elements or traffic.

Good luck!
