Re: Bent it.

If they are not bend too bad place a 2x4 up against it and hit it with a hammer to flatten it out.... Worked on mine, afterall nothing to lose....

Re: Bent it.

Maybe best to have a prop shop take a look at it... remember the cupping.

Re: Bent it.

All props can be repaired but depends on how badly bent.Difficult for us to tell from here.
A prop shop can help you tell.

Re: Bent it.

If you bent a SS prop, you may want to check the shaft for runout, to see if you bent that too. I only use my SS prop on lakes with mostly soft bottoms. I put my Alum one on when Im on lakes that I dont know well, and with rocky bottoms. I too, would take it to a prop shop for repair.
