It's only been 3 weeks since first launch and already found the 'hard' w/prop. Fortunately at lowest rpm.
My assigned slip is a sidetie between dock and rip-rap lined edge of marina. Upon transiting to sidetie, left in gear as I drifted a foot or two to wide and DING! Motor shut down and prop has a nice 1/16 inch undulation on two of the blades.
So I'm thinking new replacement Yamaha 13.25x15k aluminum, and new hub?
Or, is now the time to go stainless.
Haven't run it since the Ding, for fear of undue wear on shaft bearing.
Have already abandoned Oceanside Marina for deeper, more room in Mission Bay (san diego), for less money!
But, now conflicted about aluminum or stainless replacement. And, if needed, would it be a good time to update the hub to a better product (whatever that may be), or just stick w/yamaha.

Was still in 1st 10 hours.
Never even spun it up to 5k to see what it's like.

Suggestions?
