[QUOTE="onthewater102, post: 389778, member: 13702"] Spoke with the owner of Precision Propeller Repair out of Newburgh NY https://www.fixmyprop.com as I was looking into a stainless PowerTech cupped prop for my outboard to try and correct the ~36% slip I'm experiencing with the OEM aluminum propeller. Rather than sell me the expensive stainless prop I was looking for he informed me that he can put a cupped edge on my aluminum for a fraction the cost of the replacement. I always thought you needed stainless to have a cupped edge for the extra rigidity to hold the load on the edges, but I wasn't aware that because it's a small hp outboard it doesn't have the shaft torque to distort the aluminum -- so it will perform like the stainless would have. I'm bringing the prop to him tomorrow and hopefully will have it back to test out next Friday, but I always appreciate the rare instance when a business actually tries to understand and address your issue rather than just make a quick sale.
