My first ever bent prop.

Is there any chance of repairing this for use as a backup weekend saver?

I don't think there would b any problem having that prop repaired. The damage isn't too bad.

That actually looks like an easy one to fix. I have bent/ destroyed a few in my boating career, and the shop has always managed to make them like new again. Usually costs around 175 for repair.

Well that's good news. Thanks guys. It sure sucks when you bend a prop Saturday and the rest of your weekend is ruined. This '99 is new to us and we just brought in the '84 to get the neutral safety switch replaced. We have two extra props for the '84 and even though the shaft diameter is the same, I didn't think it would be a good idea to put the smaller, three blade prop on the '99.

Buy a new one and keep that one as a spare and buy the puller or find a close by friend with one. You can't go wrong and you won't waste a weekend or two waiting for a machine shop, you can't afford to lose those good weekends that you have in Canada (speaking from experience)

So true Sanj. Our season is about 4 months long and it sucks wasting a good weekend when the water is warm. I'll definitely be ordering a new prop and getting the old one fixed as a backup.

Don't know where you are located, but I shipped mine to Murphy's Prop Shop in VA Beach area. They were recommended to me by everybody I asked "who should I send it to for repair?" They did a fantastic job with it and mine was WAY worse than yours! They're pretty quick too. The whole thing including shipping both ways cost me $173 and took about 1-2 week turn around time (I had already bought a 2nd prop from wakemakers to use until I got it back).

Is the prop an Acme? If so, you can send directly back to Acme. Quoted from the Acme Propeller website:

When selecting a repair facility for your Acme prop it is wise to inquire into the confidence and experience level of the facility in the repair of inboard propellers. It is also prudent to ensure that the facility possesses either the necessary pitch blocks (specifically designed for Acme props), or that they have the appropriate scanning equipment, to enable them to return the prop to specifications which are reasonably true to the original design and high level of accuracy of that Acme part number.If there are any questions as to the correct design or dimensions of an Acme part number, your repair facility may contact us concerning actual numerical specifications and/or any other questions they might have.If you do not have a qualified repair facility in your area, Acme does offer repair service. Just give use a call at 1-888-661-ACME with your information, and we will give you a return number and the correct ship-to address for the repair.
