What is the benefit to having a repair done instead of purchasing a new prop?
Repairing your existing prop avoids the typical new-prop selection questions like diameter, pitch, and spline count. A repair keeps your current setup and gets you back on the water without needing to match a replacement.
Why in some cases is it about the same cost to repair a prop as it is to replace it with a new one?
This can happen with some aluminum props. A low-cost replacement may use thinner blades, but if your existing prop is thicker, the repair is done to match that original thickness.
Can I change the pitch of my prop?
Yes. Pitch changes can be made to very small degrees.
Do you use pitch blocks to ensure an accurate pitch?
Yes.
How long have you been repairing props and skegs?
Repairs started in 1991.
Are you willing to meet me on a Saturday or Sunday so I can use my boat today?
In most cases, yes. Call for availability.
Can I ship my prop or skeg to you for repair, and what are the details?
