Anyone have experience with these mail away prop repair services? Any to recommend? I'd go local but I don't have any prop shops in my area. Any recommendations? Messed up my stainless steel prop up pretty bad today at the ramp. Bummed....
TIA

Not sure where you are, however I can vouch for Green Bay Propeller in Suamico Wisconsin and General Propeller in Bradenton Florida. Both do prop repair via shipping. Check with you local marina and find where they ship props

I've had very good experiences with PropMD both for repairs & purchasing. Check prices on a new prop, though, as it might be more cost effective to just replace it.

Definitely PropMD, they are just down the road from me and I've had them repair a lot of aluminum props from my old runabout as well as one Acme Nibral prop from my Malibu.

Thanks all. Gonna use Propmd after all. It's a stainless steel so cheaper to have it repaired then buy a new one.
Thanks again.

Wilmington Propeller in California is one of the best repair places in the nation.

Whoever you pick, make sure they are members of the The National Marine Propeller Association.

They should be able to do a computer analysis of the pitch of each blade and give you the report with the repaired prop.

I bought a repaired set of Volvo DuoProps on eBay once and I had Wilmington look at them. They found every blade had a different pitch. I sent it back and got my money back

Good advice. Thank you my friend!
