While this was stupid of me, I post it to save someone else from making the same mistake.

I am sure that you experience boat owners know that different trolling motors have different sized props. Me, I mistakenly figured that knowing the make and thrust was enough.
I just spent my lunch break driving to the store only to realize I will need to go back once I have the exact model or at least the measurements.

LOL yeah having the right size does help quite a bit. I assume you got fixed up though?

You're sure not alone, Cass. Mine was a t/motor prop shear pin. Carried around the wrong size for about a year. Found out it was the wrong size in the middle of a tournament. Not good!
