It depends on how badly it's damaged.
A prop shop will tell you when you drop it off if it's repairable and the
cost.

Cost will vary with material (AL or SS...guess there are brass and other
materials too) and amount of damage.
On most props the hub is pressed into the prop...you don't need to take it
off. The prop shop will do that and install a new one.
All you need to do is pull the prop off.
Since you failed to mention anything about what it's on....I'll guess
Mercury.
Bend the little tabs back on lock ring. that fit in the slots.
Remove nut (use a block of wood to keep prop from turning OR put drive in
gear)
Remove washer and lock ring.
Pull off prop.
Don't loose the thrust washer that is behind the prop!!!!!!!!

Hello,

Can someone tell me if a propeller is repairable or not? It was not torn
or bended, it was just scraped with rough edges around all the blades and
the skeg.

Is it expensive or should I just buy anyone? What kind of tools do I need
to take out the hub and take out the propeller. I am new in boating,
please help.

Thanks
David
