Bismarck Prop Works

[DirtyMike]

So, I took a kid fishing (flycarpin) last Saturday and decided to test the durability of a brand new stainless prop. Barely in idle, I bent over two edges before I could hit the trim button. I ran it back to Bismarck Prop Works on Monday morning and received a call yesterday telling me it was finished. I picked it up today and it looks like it's brand new again. Fantastic company.

Excellent. He loves repeat customers. I've been one.

 

[Fly Carpin]

Awesome company. Fast, good prices, and excellent work. And that'll teach you to go bass fishing with a miscreant like me

 

[RustyTackleBox]

I agree... I took one into them last year, hope I don't need to be a repeat customer soon but I probably will

 

[Wirehair]

Have had similar prop experience . Service level is fantastic! Thumbs Up

anybody ever watch them do this? I'm curious as to how they go about it.

Would be interesting to see - both with aluminum and s/s. Weld on new material, I'd guess...

I use a rubber mallet, crescent wrench, and various size oak logs to bend my aluminum props back. It's surprising how close a guy can get them back to perfect.

It'd be great to buy a "mandrel" for my prop - boy would that go faster than sorting through oak logs of the right angle/cup. Wonder how much they run?

I've had aluminum props repaired there in the past. They do good work.

One thing I will note though is I lost about 200 rpm with each repair. This was on an aluminum 19P semi-cleaver prop, Yamaha factory version.

I've not had to get a stainless repair yet, but do have a candidate for going in this fall for a little bit of touchup.

Yes, unfortunately I have been witness to Bismarck propworks good work several times.

They must have got a lot better I have seen some work from a few years ago and just wrote them off then

I send my stuff to Shelbyville Indiana, and Ft Lauderdale Florida and they come back works of art and faster then they went out!

He's a good'ol government hating guy too! Does he still have the banner up behind the desk that says, "6.5% discount for cash"? Best thing ever.

With the proper snatch-block early in life a guy'd be able to afford his own set of pitch-blocks whenever he wanted them.

I think I see what you did there. And you are right. I have a friend who married recently, but before he married, he had a boat, Harley, side-by-side and a couple of sleds. And a real honest-to-goodness helicopter.

I need to pay him a visit this fall when I bring my boat back from Devils Lake. I found a "road sign" on DL on the first trip out with my new 4 blade SS.
