I was fortunate enough to have received a SM Honda Lite for xmas and believe it to be a fine running machine, at least for the first month of use. However, I am now on my third set of blades! First set both blades fractured across the hex bolt hole. Second set did the same thing last night. The first set I did claim warranty work and plan on doing the same for the second set that I happened to ruin in 2 wks! I have been tightening the hex bolts as suggested by SM.
For the last two yrs I have been borrowing a buddies Lazer Mag and have had no issues with the same blades(maybe no serration, unsure) and didnt re-tighten the bolts at all.
Any thoughts or experiences some of you may have experienced would be great to hear about.

We have bought a new boat, which we will be picking up this spring. It is an Alumacraft Competitor 165 sport with a 90 horse Yamaha
motor. I will be buying and installing a trolling motor, wondering if I can get some recommendations on what pound thrust I will
want for this boat? Also, I will be selling my old boat, is there a good way to determine the value on an older boat ( mid-80's with a 75 horse 2-stroke
Mariner motor) I will appreciate any help with these questions.
I went ahead and watched some of the MLF coverage. Wheeler didn’t make the cut but the bigger story was the Poche/Avera fallout.
Kinda funny listening to both sides of the story and putting together the scenario, reading between the lines.
