Shep thanks for reply. I should have labeled them livewell intake screens, was told that they help keep out unwanted stuff to livewell pumps. In the pic, I'm holding it in place since I took them off this summer. The cavitation is heard on acceleration. I don't notice it on plane or trimmed out. The prop is a 12 pitch, 11 and 3/8. As far as rpms, when going wide open, I'm at around 5900. I don't believe the blades are flexing and hitting something. When I 1st noticed this the 1st summer, the paint was just gone in the same area on each blade. Shortly after that, those spots got "rough" feeling, like sand paper. I see the prop pic isn't the best. But this prop is new and one blade has shown this wear. I'm sure if I continue to use it, it will wear just like the others.
