Propellor chips

[Scott Ashe]

Hi all,

I have been doing a bit of creek work lately, in the shallows and my propellor has a few small chips in it. I was wondering if anybody knew an effective way to try and get rid them. Then I could just respray it.

Cheers
Scott

Had the same issue. They need to be welded to build them up and then taken back to the original shape. I got mine professionally repaired, two dings, two welds and $100...ouch!

I keep a spare prop that I use for creek work if I think it is going to get chipped or bent.

If you are handy you can file it yourself, then some sandpaper to finish, if you do not go silly you will never know the difference on the water. Just follow the curve of the blade as it stands now, I am assuming this is not a $900 prop.
