Is this broken prop fixable??

Post by Mike M »

Anyone know of someone who could repair this prop for me? Would it even be worthwhile compared to the cost of a new one (likely around $120.00 new). There is no other damage that I can see, just the obvious "missing" piece.

easy fix but probably run $80-100,it is nearly a toss up to buy new,at least a prop repair will guarantee a proper balance,out of the box quality in a $120 range prop no guarantee.

Bells Machine Shop in Perth can fix that up for you, I had the same thing fixed last year for around sixty dollars, I am sure most any machine shop could fix it though, so you should be able to find one in your area.

Prop Repair

I've dealt with Bells and they did great work on my skeg and prop. Perth is a bit of a drive from Embrum, you can also drop it off at Orleans Boat World and they will send it out. Somewhere in Gatineau I believe.

Any good repair shop is going to balance your prop as part of the repair.

Remember, if you haven't been aground, you haven't been around.

Thanks everyone for the replies/advice. Looks like repairing might not be a bad option if I can get it done for around 60.00. I'll pay Marc Marine a visit. Cheers
