Re: Munched Prop!!
"If" it was only 3/4 of an inch that went missing, you could "possibly" also take it to a reputable shop to have it repaired.
But given the relatively low price on new Solas here (follow link provided by Rogers), might not even be worth repairing it, especially if you have to drive far to drop off and pick up.
I "jacked" one of my blades on my alu prop badly a few years ago. Prop was repaired (~$90, very reputable shop) and the only real difference is that the paint does not hold up as well as the original paint (shop alerted me to that, but less of an issues since boat sits out of the water).
Of course last year when I was nice to one of my neighbors to minimize her jump to the dock, I jacked it once again (smaller this time). Will repair and have as a spare prop (bought a 4-blade) when I get a chance to drive up to the shop.
And, this prop was replacing a Michigan Wheel that started showing microscopic cracks along the hub. Upon accelerating one day with a full crew, that blade just sheared off at the hub. total loss. So, have shop really inspect before repairing...
