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

Do it once and do it right. Put a new SS on there. Those are worth fixing
if dinged. Props need to be balanced, and repairs and balancing will cost
as much as new.

What problems did you have with the Pirhana prop?

thanks. I have not found anything on ebay that would be markedly
better than a new $99 aluminum prop at boat-props.com.

I will also do a slight home repair of my old prop to use for
emergency situation (for getting to the dock relatively slowly).

Most important: PEOPLE, DO NOT BUY PIRANHA PROPS!!!
