Prop damage

[Marbleyes]

Anyone have an idea of how much it costs to repair a stainless prop? Specifically from prop works in Bismarck? Dinged up all 3 blades today, not anything major and it seemed to run fine but I know it can cause more problems if it goes unfixed. Thanks.

Here's a link to their site, looks like price is based on the size of the prop. http://www.bismarckpropworks.com/prop--skeg-repair.html

Thanks shadrap! Wish I could say that the only dumb thing I did today was ask about prop works prices without even looking at their website but not watching my map chip was also dumb as I ran over a island that was a foot under water. New boat doesn't look so new now.

Don't feel bad, just picked my boat up today. Those guys are awesome, they always hook me up.

now I'm ready for the DWC !!

Do they check to see if you caused any other damage besides just to the prop? Like if you bent the prop shaft and things like that?

i don't think so u should b able to tell if ur shaft is bent by running it in ur driveway and watching circulation of prop

if ur shaft is bent a marine mechanic should b able to straighten it fairly inexpensive

Peyronie's disease is serious business. Just ask Bill.

They will get your shaft back straight. It isn't free though...

How much does a new shaft usually run?

MSA,
Never had to buy a new shaft, installing it probably cost more than the part ??

Hope I never find out
