Stainless Prop repair

[Sfritr]

Went out over the weekend and must have nailed a rock.  Its a four blade prop and has a 2.5 in notch on one blade as well as the tips of two others.  

Anyone know the going rate for repairing or grinding stainless props?  I don't think it is unrepairable but I know a dinged prop isn't good for the motor either.

If the fishing wasn't as good as it was I would have been much more upset

The cheapest in my area for damage like you've got is around $80-100.  $25-35 extra if you want it polished.

Better send it to cart7t area. I've never checked on a four blade repair but the last time I prices a three blade 26" raker,  they wanted $175, and it wasn't as bad as you described.

Give this guy a call, Bob Lipton 636 949-3121. He does not polish them but does outstanding work, does a lot of work for the drag racers and performance boat people. Tell him what boat, motor etc and he can tweek it for your rig and his prices are not much different than the ripoffs around my parts.

I should mention that's for a 3 blade. I don't know about 4 blades.

My place is B&B propeller in Valley Park, Missouri. You could go to a place that's closer to me, Maazco. John Mazar is well known for his high performance props and also does repairs though his prices are probably the highest in town.

What is the name of his business and where is he located?  I am in Michigan but shipping should not be an issue.  Thanks again

[Way2slow]

Performance Propellors in St. Charles, Mo.

I should also mention, I haven't had one tuned in a couple of years so I'm just guessing he's still around.

Performance is still in business.

Thanks for the help guys.  I'll let you know what the quoted price is for the repair

If the stainless is damaged that bad, you better start checking out other things also. The prop shaft could be bent and take a look at the lower unit housing around the the lower gears to see if it has any swelled spots. If so it will need new gears and it is common when you nail something that hard.

Good luck
