G23 Prop Fell Off .....

[RDT-G23]

The problem has not gone away. It just happened to me. I was going down the middle of the lake, felt the boat shudder for a few seconds, then the boat started slowing down. I talked to the dealer and they said the problem had gone away around 2013 but now they are seeing it again.

Did you buy from Sail and Ski?

I have a 2016 G23 with a 450HP motor which I ordered and received last June. Today started getting the same rattle so I stopped to see what was going on and when I tried to take off again it wouldn't go forward or reverse. I thought of this thread and sure enough after being towed in the shaft had sheared off and there was no prop. My question is who do I contact to file a claim Dealer or Nautique? How long did it take for this repair to be completed by your dealer? Did they also replace your prop? I am super bummed as this boat is barely a year old and has less than 50 hours.

Contact your dealer. With this issue resurfacing, many will have the parts in stock. And yes, they'll replace the prop too.

Brand new 2017 G23 with 80 Hrs on it. Was just cruising in deep water at 30 MPH and BAM! 3rd time I have been towed since I have had it.(other tows were related to electrical issues) Already had a entire new wiring harness replaced. This is getting ridiculous I am scared to take the boat out anywhere, for fearing breaking down!

[syates32]

I am going to speculate that this is still happening and others are worried about posting to the forum as this is embarrassing for an owner to talk about.

Was down your way yesterday and this happened

Looks like I get to join the crew of unhappy broken shaft members. 2016 G23 450 HP less than 50 hours. Boat began to shake and then no power forward or back. Had to be towed in and realized why it wouldn't go forward or reverse once on the trailer. For as much money as these boats cost we should not be having to deal with this headache.

Happy to report that Arizona Action Water Sports and Tim the service manager took care of my shaft issue. Dropped it off on a Tuesday and it was ready the following Thursday afternoon. Aside from the drive and the issue in the first place I could not be happier and feel good that not only did they take care of it they understood that a quick turnaround was important to me.

Are dealers giving any reassurance that this won't recur? Does anyone know why it's only occurring with G boats?

I wonder if it only happens with 17" propellers? Who else runs 17" props? I think the 2018 Axis A24 is going to have 17" prop.

25lsv does too

Just think if you run it on the Ohio river, boat is dead in the water and a barge is coming, you are screwed!

I just looked on wakemakers, and the 25lsv has a 15" prop, at least currently.

I was told it was the result of a faulty manufacturer that didn't quite have their quality control up to par. It has been dealt with but depending on when you purchased your boat you may eventually have an issue. The newly installed shaft has come from a new manufacturer and they have not had any issues with these shafts.
