Try one of or sponsors Delta Propeller. They have a link in that section. Many have had good luck with them.
BTW, never take a prop to a marina. They simply send it out to a prop shop and then mark up the cost!!! ------------- /diaries/details.asp?ID=1622" rel="nofollow - 54 Atom /diaries/details.asp?ID=2179" rel="nofollow - 77 Tique 64 X55 Dunphy Keep it original, Pete < |

Literally just got off the phone with Delta...they're in Cincy, and they said it's $105 for a typical repair plus the cost of shipping. ------------- Craig 67 SN 73 SN http://www.correctcraftfan.com/diaries/details.asp?ID=6103" rel="nofollow - 99 Sport 85SN |

Bruce, You must know where all the rocks and stumps are in your lake!!  I honestly don't remember when the last time was I sent in one of my props! The only recent incidence I had a couple years ago was thowing a blade on the Atom. I never got a replacement and am just running the lesser pitch spare.------------- /diaries/details.asp?ID=1622" rel="nofollow - 54 Atom /diaries/details.asp?ID=2179" rel="nofollow - 77 Tique 64 X55 Dunphy Keep it original, Pete < |

When I bought my boat, the prop was a little dinged up on the outside, and a little material missing toward the center. I had it redone locally at a reputable shop in Maine. I also bought a new one and although they did seem to do a pretty nice job on the old one, the new one (identical repalcement) gets me about another 3 mph and is smoother. Food for thought... ------------- '86 2001 '50 Century Imperial Sportsman |

And, i've observed one often doesn't end up with their own prop back, but somebody else's! ------------- "There is nothing, absolutely nothing, half so much worthwhile as messing around with boats...simply messing." River Rat to Mole |

Carl, I've used delta props for rudder and prop repair on 3 different occassions. Been VERY happy with the quality and quickness of their work. They support the site and give us a a discount. I highly recommend them. ------------- "Morfoot; He can ski. He can wakeboard.He can cook chicken.He can create his own self-named beverage, & can also apparently fly.
