So, this is an Acme 1442 that was on my 91 Ski. Last weekend we were out taking a ride around the lake and hit something on the bottom while idling. After circling around and looking, it appears there was a pier footing or something on the bottom that was a round metal foot with about 8 or 10 inches of tube sticking out of it. We weren't in close to shore but this was a shallower spot of the lake. As you can see, it sliced off a portion of one blade. The other two blades were untouched. I hear you can add material back to a blade, but do you think this one is able to be saved? I already have a new 1442 on the boat now, but I would like to have a spare in the garage. Thanks!    ------------- http://www.correctcraftfan.com/diaries/details.asp?ID=5240&sort=&pagenum=1 - '91 Ski Nautique |

Should be fixable. Send it to Delta propeller....site sponsor. They fixed one of mine that was worse than that. ------------- http://www.correctcraftfan.com/diaries/details.asp?ID=2798 - 93 Sport Nautique |

Wow I'd love to see that process. I wonder if they have any videos showing how they repair a damaged prop like that. ------------- - Jeff 1999 Ski Nautique |
