While I shouldn't have I have run worse looking props for more than one season of light weekend use.No damage to this point on my since new 88 50hp Erude.Now is my sons and I told him he should be sure prop is in good shape. If that is bent you could try to carefull flatten it.It may break out.Use a file to lightly smooth any minor dings.Try to be aware of any vibration.If your out every day you might want to consider a repair.Just weekends and vacation run it for the season and have it repaired.If you feel there is a vibration not present before have it repaired.
I dont run damaged props. I would get you a new one... then have that one repaired. That way you will have a spare. Props are cheap. People are always having sales on them... should be able to score one for around $85 new.
Don't think that's terminal but I'm like 90- I don't run damaged props. I keep a spare on the boat and can swap if I do eat one. (It's happened.) However that one can be easily repaired. Since you are running an aluminum prop that's not too hurtful to the wallet for a new one. Buy a new prop and have that one repaired and use it as the spare.
Iboats was just having a prop sale....maybe they still are.....prop does not look to bad but,,,,,any damage I am sure will affect the performance to some degree
