Neil, why repitch? You will probably only go one inch in pitch, so not much change for cost. Might be better to borrow one, before spending hard earned dollars. Old one would need to be in good nick. Thats my thoughts, cheers Pete.

Rogers & Lough at Bulimba do it and are more reasonably priced than some others, give them a call and have a chat.

the cost of a new prop is around $250 and i need around 2"pitch up.
i've got a quote for a 2" repitch for $55.
my prop is only around 58hrs old so its good nick.

Honky be carefull 2 inches is a lot of extra pitch to put into a prop - from the props perspective not the engines, it would need to be a big prop, SS and even then!. Today a person can get anyone to do anything with money.

Suspect that if a person critically inspected it it may end up wrecked -out of balance, weak etc, but may still suit the average fisho, IMO sell it and buy a secondhand one that suits.

I had a prop given extra cup and a tidy up by propeller repairs at Johnson St southport. They were great, prop better than new as far as performance goes but not of a high polish like a new merc or solas prop is out of the box.
