Prop: keep it or juck it?

[11 footer]

Here is a picture of a mercury prop that came off a motor that is long gone. I went to throw it out and realized that it's not in too bad of shape. I did see the the round thing in the middle was puched off to one side. Could I mount this prop on a motor without haveing prolbems?<br />What caused the prop the get like this?<br /><br />Thanks,<br />11

No need to be smart.Last I checked outboard forums don't discuss picture posting instructions.I was actually trying to help as the instructions are a bit involved.Good Luck.

RyanT, From the picture on Sloops link it looks to me as if that prop is very salvagable.Looks like it needs a new hub and notwithstanding what looks to be some minor nicking on leading edges I'm guessing a decent prop shop can make it good as new.

Re: Prop: keep it or juck it?

ob and sloopy, thanks for the help. I've neaver had a prop fixed before. I'll have to look around and see were it can be done. I don't want to spend a whole lot of money to get it fixed because the same prop is only 80 bucks new.<br /><br />Thanks for the help, this is a grean fourm.<br /><br />11

If you can get a new prop for $80 it's a no brainer get the new one.

Re: Prop: keep it or juck it?

Sloopy told me I could get it fixed for 10 bucks. Its really no big deal. Were are not talking much money here eather way. I don't even have a use for it right now. The two motors I have that it will fit got new props a few weeks ago. ( thats how I know I cost $80.00) I'm just looking to maby use it as a back up.<br /><br />Again,thanks for the help guys.<br /><br />11
