It's not something you can repair yourself. I've had my propellers repaired
for $35-$55.
If you plan on dinging it again, stick with aluminum: your propeller will
take a beating, but while it's absorbing the impact, less impact is being
passed through to the drive shaft.

This is a 14.75" diameter, 17" pitch aluminum prop from my boat. Did
some damage to it last year and am using a Piranha propeller (spit).

Here's my aluminum prop:

I want to go back to metal props ASAP. I wonder what do you think
about the condition of my current propeller.

Should I attempt to grind it a little bit? It does not make sense to
pay for refurbishing it, with all the hassle etc, it is easier to buy
a new one for $99 at boat-props.com.

Is it really worthwhile to look for stainless props? I do not care
much about "top speed", my boat is mostly used for "ski tubing" and
such at below top speed. We do not water ski due to lack of skills and
desire.

thanks
