I'm not sure who else in the area might fix props

What area? Where I live (central WV) there aren't any local shops, but a
truck from Blackburn Distributing up in PA comes by once a week and visits
all the marinas and stores to collect damaged props and deliver repaired
ones. Like others have said, I've seen worse looking props than yours
sitting on the repair shelf.

I agree with your OP, btw, about an aluminum prop absorbing damage that a
stainless steel one would pass along to more expensive parts.


We had a merc 3.0 4cyl with a bravo out drive
we always got our props fixed and kept a back up
came in handy on a day one runs a-much. It came with
an aluminum prop but we put a black max on it. but by
then we never tore it up. we sold the boat to my sister
just before we moved to FL that summer they trashed
the prop lol.
