I have 3 props

This is where it's all going on. One can ask for advice or general information or simply chew the fat about fishing tackle, tips, and locations.

I have 3 props

Post by something_fishy »

I have 3 props for my boat and all 3 are spinning, I think the rubber is dead and needs fixing, how much and where can I get this done, how long does it take, can I do it myself??

expensive

Does it cost much to do?? Can they do it on the spot or is it something that you have to leave with them ?

Is there no way to do this myself??

Check the shear pin. Its there so if you hit something it brakes (cost 0.53) instead of something expensive.

sheer pin

The sheer pin is there, but the metal spindle that sits inside the prop and goes through it comes right out and the rubber that sits between the prop and the spindle is all rotten and falling off.

I doubt that you could fix it by yourself. The rubber and/or plastic bits in there are probably pressed in place with a lot of pressure. I had a 9.9 prop re-hubbed at G&G Lalonde (now Orleans Boat World and Sports) a couple of years ago. I think it was around $40. I believe they send their prop repair work out somewhere else, so it will take a few days to get the work done.
