Frequently Asked Questions
What is the benefit of repairing a prop instead of buying a new one?
Repairing your existing prop can be simpler than replacing it. When buying a new prop, you often need to match details such as diameter, pitch, and spline count. If your current prop already fits your boat correctly, repairing it can save time and avoid guesswork.
Why can prop repair sometimes cost about the same as buying a new prop?
This can happen with some aluminum props. Many lower-cost replacement props are made with thinner blades. If your existing prop is made from thicker material, the repair is done to match that original thickness, which affects the work involved.
Can you change the pitch of my prop?
Yes. Pitch changes can be made in small increments.
Do you use pitch blocks to check pitch accuracy?
Yes. Pitch blocks are used to help ensure accurate pitch measurements.
How long have you been repairing props and skegs?
Repairs started in 1991.
Are weekend appointments available if I need my boat right away?
In many cases, yes. Call ahead to confirm weekend availability.
