Do you have any prop repair horror stories that you can share with our viewers?

I've completely roto-tilled rocky river beds with my boat prop, as well as nicking them up from minor prop strikes. In both situations, I always have them repaired. I can usually feel some vibration from a small nick on the prop, and cavitation can be a problem with minor damage to the edges. It always amazes me how some prop repair shops can make a totally mangled prop look brand new. Always cheaper to repair vs buying a new prop, especially if it's stainless steel. On the other hand, buy an extra prop or two for spares. I have extras based on the type of boating I'm doing...4-blade vs 3-blade for different boating conditions. Even the most experienced boaters will tear up a prop on occasion. Good info in the video for sure!

Thank you, I run aluminum vs steel, have a few nicks, this was a great resource! Tight Lines my friend!!

Great video tips again. I might add that the damage to the edges of a prop that doesn’t need immediate repair, can still cause cavitation. And with that, the damage will also slowly show itself. 🇨🇦👍🏼

My favorite boating channel. Always the best presentation of the subject matter compared to other KZfaq channels. Thanks for the info.

Just the video I needed. Thank you

Here is what I'm asking myself. With the inflated economy and our horrible administration, how are people still going out and buying expensive boats? I make good money as a travel tech and I still can't afford even the lowest level of motorized boat.

Thanks! Needed that
