Prop damage

[realmasa]

I accidentally damaged my new prop, damn! Is there any rescue for it? It is a SS prop and the leading edges are thinned out, not razor sharp. One blade has a small damage at the edge. I can still use it, but it's probably not good for the transmission and the performance is suffering. Can it be repaired? Help, please.<br /><br />And it is a Turbo TXP 14x21.<br /><br />/Mattias

Re: Prop damage

Most any prop can be repaired. If it just the edge that is buggered, it should be no problem. Take it or send it to a prop shop and see what they say. Best not to use it until you have it evaluated by a pro....

Re: Prop damage

Send it ONLY to precision propeller...they are the only one's that have the correct pitch blocks for the TXP...anyone else would ruin it for ya...

Re: Prop damage

Ok, there's a local dock for small boats and I know they repair, and i know they repair Mi Wheel props. Kenny, i bought the prop from Norway, the guy is into boat racing and is a reseller for Precision Propeller, he also thinned the prop. He must have the skills and equipment to fix it, don't you think?<br /><br />/Mattias

Re: Prop damage

If he has pitch blocks for a TXP, then yes...other-wise it would be a very smart move to send it back to precision.

Re: Prop damage

I post two pictures of the damage, what do you think, does it need to be sent back to the reseller/factory or can it be done by some local repair shop? Only one blade is shown, the damage done on the other two are very small.<br />

Re: Prop damage

Thats a TXP but are you sure it's a 21? It also looks like some blueprinting was done on it. The distributor over there is Red .....(something) I believe. If he did it, I'd send it back to him.

Re: Prop damage

Yeah, i'm sending it back to him, he said it would be no problem fixing it.<br />I'm pretty sure it's 21" pitch, how can i check it?<br />I had to unwrap it and check the numbers, it says TX 1475 21R.
