Bad day at the river

[dan1166]

Got up early, to do the slalom course, only to find that heavy rains ruined the course. Spent all day trying to clear trees and limbs that became snagged on the main line. Even had to replace the PVC on the gate balls. While doing so, I lost focus where I was with the boat, (made a cell phone call for more help)and a strong wind blew me up on a ledge of rocks. The boat was not under power. Well after 6 hours of repairs to the course, I didn't have a boat to ski behind. The prop took the hit in the rocks. The boat shook like a leaf. Had to drive at 3 MPH back to the launch which was 3.5 miles away. When we loaded on the trailer, found out that one blade was twisted. Where is a good place to send for repair? Should I send back to the OJ factory, or use a prop shop that repairs all types of Props? Let me know. I think OJ may be a better choice, however, I do not know how long they will have the prop. It does not matter; I have a spare. Do members of Planet Nautique get a discount for such repairs? I was just wondering. I am also a member of the AWSA.

I have not heard of any discounts by OJ but I have heard they charge about 85.00 and do a great job. Ask for Eric

very possible,you blend the prop shaft also, turn the prop by hand and check the shaft carefuly
