Hi Danny,
In most cases it is pretty obvious if the joint has been exposed to
seawater and/or oxygen for any length of time. A "bright" bronze is
recent exposure. Normal power washing won't clean up tarnish.
Any indication of fresh bronze in the broken area?
Cheers, Russ

The guy at the yard checked buck algonquin with no luck. I did look
around and there was no apparent neglect. However, they had already
powerwashed everything by the time I got to see it. It is obvious
they are not owning up to it and I have no reason to think otherwise
except the fact that there was no noticeable change while motoring...
I just heard from him and he going to try and get me a photo of
it. The guy at Holland Marine said he might have some old stock
laying around and might be able to match it up.
I'm assuming this isn't the only boat that used this strut...

Have you checked Buck Algonquin for a match?

So, my prop strut was broken when they hauled my boat this year. I
got, "did you know your strut was broken? You must have had terrible
vibrations." I didn't have any that I noticed. Then he says, " maybe
you should go to a regular prop" I said " that set up has been on
the boat 40 years without an issue..."
Anyway. They say that they can't just buy a replacement and that i
need to have one fabricated! for $530!!! OUCH!
