AIUI, damage to steel is unlikely, but there is a risk of excess wear
on the drive train if you make a habit of ice breaking, as a result
of using the prop as an ice grinder.
Came up from Alrewas to Fradley yesterday in quite heavy ice - the
first time I've felt Sanity's bow lift as she rode up onto the sheet
briefly. Lost some blacking, mainly from the rubbing strake where it
cuts the water on the shoulder of the bow, but no damage to the steel.
All the best

There are no strangers on the cut, only boaters we've yet to meet.
