I spun the prop hub on an otherwise beautiful condition original prop.
The prop is for one of my '58 Fastwins.

Went down to my local marine service place and they told me they don't fix the hubs on the little OMC aluminum props anymore.
When they did do it, it cost $152 for parts and labor and they sell new props for $150.

How much do you pay for rehubbing?, and give name and number of the place you use

Thanks guys

Don't know if they'll have what you need, but check out procopropellers.com The non-through prop for my '66 was $100 delivered.

Our local Johnnyrude dealer doesn't do them but sends them out. I had one done about a year ago and it was $45.

Maybe I wasn't clear.
I want to rehub my existing prop, not buy a new one

Local dealership will put you in touch with somebody most likely, if of course they don't do it themselves.

Did read the post before making a reply. I referred to "a" local dealership not the one you chose. If there is only one around you then look further afield. If the next nearest is too far away for you then try a search on the computer for somewhere and flip them an e-mail.
I humbly apologize if I upset you here !!! :eek:

Problem #1
Southern California labor rates

Problem #2
I have searched the net and emailed many prop repair replaces, but it is Sunday. I would prefer to deal with places that others here have used.

It would be nice to compile a list of prop repair shops by location, that others here have used.

Sorry I snapped :redface: , but if you can't answer the question, why reply? :confused:

I replied because there was nothing in the original post about any research that had been done other than the visit to the "local marine place" If you had included your "net search" and "many e-mails" I would not have answered in the first place.
I will say no more on the subject.
Good Luck with getting your prop re-hubbed.
