Too bad about your blade. I've had one of my propellers repaired several
times with no problems; it's been about 5 years since the first repair.

I've paid $35-$65 to have aluminum prop repaired.

Just my two cents... I had an aluminum prop rebuilt by a reputable repair
shop (http://www.propshopltd.com/ ... They just happen to be walking
distance from my house) Later in the season, I had one of the blades
break off clean at the hub for no apparant reason. It was only $55 to
have it remanufactured, but I should have popped a hundred for a new one
instead, would have saved a precious day on the water, as well at a two
hour cruise home on the trolling motor.

Yep. Like I said, it's just my experience, and the shop did have a good
rep... I'm sure they would go out of business pretty quickly if every
reworked prop failed.

So something lewd and lascivious is illegal? I wonder if any of the
laws include the words "tawdry" and/or "salacious". Or can something be
tawdry, salacious, and altogether lascivious, but once it gets lewd,
that's when they call the cops?

I have never bothered to have an aluminum prop reworked, but I have had a
coupel stainless steel props done. So far no problems. One little tip
though. Carry a spare prop. I do.

I just carry a spare engine... There's no way I'm getting in the water to
change a prop.

I'm a trailer boater: I carry a spare prop and wrench in the tow vehicle
when we're boating out of town, so I don't have to waste valuable weekend or
vacation time getting a prop repaired. I'll take my chances on limping back
to the trailer with a dinged prop.
