    Thanks for all the information given here.The fishermen invited me to go out to the site at low tide to snorkle and take a few pics.There is more then one plane in this area.The pieces are very large and to big to bring in.They do not want it disturbed because it is being used by red snapper as their home.Wish me luck and maybe i will get the pics

    Looking at the bends in the prop blades is leaving me puzzled.The prop was found in the ocean.If the plane crashed in nose first would the bends in the prop be pointing back towards the plane after making contact with the water? Maybe somebody here can explain what happened here.

    what do i have here

    Thanks for all the information on my propeller.I am going to pressure wash the gearbox and try to find some numbers to publish here.I am going to try and find out the name of the plane,its year,pilots name,and what caused this plane to end up in the sea.By the way i spoke to the fisherman again and he says there are more props in the area.One is smaller diameter and one is quite large.He says helicopter maybe.Will keep everybody posted.:)
