Do I have legal recourse for stepping on a loose propeller in the bay by a restaurant-bar? Are they responsible for a certain measurement of water?

Since you were a patron in a business you are deemed to be an invitee under the law. Under the circumstances, the restaurant owed you a duty to inspect for hazards and eliminate them or at least warn against them so that you were not injured. I think a big question is going to be whether you exceeded the scope of invitation in the location where you injured your foot. If the restaurant conducted business in a way that expected patrons to walk in the area of water where you were then you probably have a viable claim. If you have any questions or would like to discuss this further, feel free to give me a call.
