We finally dinged up a prop this weekend on a log. What is the quickest turn around shop to get this fixed? I’m paranoid now not having a spare.

I just had mine done at https://www.propshoptn.com/
225 shipped back to me for a badly damaged 16" prop.
They took about 2-3 days.

Highly recommended, nice guys and good on communication.

Also go ahead and buy a spare, sucks to lose a whole week if you ding one.

Appreciate the info. I’ll give them a call today. Fortunately I had a spare but it’s the 16x15 so not as optimal as the 16x13.9.

Depending how damaged it is and how quickly you need it repaired- I bent over the ends of two of the fins on my prop a week ago and temporarily fixed it myself (for now as I didn’t have a spare). Can’t miss any boat days!

I made a template from a good fin and using a large adjustable wrench I careful bent the fins back until they matched up with the template. Took it out this weekend and it worked perfect...no vibrations.

I did order a new prop and will get the damaged one professionally repaired/balanced.

not sure where you are located but most larger cities have a prop repair shop to save on shipping. call a few of the local boat dealers and they will tell you who they use.
had a couple fixed in boise and ran me $100. there's a couple of shops here in vegas that do it but it's a tad more.

Hope it runs like new!

I still can't figure out what happened here, I was in forward when this happened.

Prop shop tn was awesome to deal with. Overnighted my prop to them yesterday. They just completed it and are sending it to my marina with a Thursday arrival time!
