Rear prop
Jack, I have a '76 normal that I've put 670 hours on in the last 8 years. I've had only one nick and it was serious enough to require an A&P to file it out.
I religiously start any roll - taxi or takeoff - with the rear engine and bring the front engine in after starting to roll. I taxi mostly with the rear engine (unless it's running hot) unless I know the surface very well I am taxiing over.
This is my 3rd 337 and I believe 95% of rear prop damage results from items blown rearward by the front prop. Maybe this will help you.
