Hi everyone, Submerged rock vs prop. #

Where would you recommend I get a new prop? #I live on the southside of Brisbane at the moment. #I'm pretty sure this one's aluminium.

Thanks!

Murray.

yeah that's an ally prop. Doesn't look too bad, might be worth fixing - especially if that's the worst blade. Fixing props like that can give mixed results, but most likely to be a lot cheaper than a newie.

cheers,

That prop will be easily repaired. We get or work props repaired three or four times before they become unservicable.

Hi Steve, thanks for your reply... that's the only damaged blade. Do you know where I could get it fixed/ looked at?

Thanks Blaze.

Kiktz: It's 13 1/4 inches and I'm not sure about the pitch (don't know where to measure it from). It's off a johnson 90 V4.

It may have been repaired before as It was beautifully painted when I bought the boat. THe rubber seal isn't in very good shape now that I look at it :-?
