I went out yesterday afternoon for an evening duck hunt and at little more than idle speed I hit an underwater stump. The hit put a slight bend/deflection in one of the blades on my aluminum prop. There was no vibration that I could feel in the motor after the hit.
Is there a good way to bend the prop back to correct shape. It's on a 60hp mercury. I just don't want to do any damage to the lower unit from a screwed up prop.
Does anyone have any experiance with the Mac's River Runners. Are they worth the money and do they protect props as advertised?
Thanks for any suggestions.
 
If it were mine, and the bend bothered me enough to want to "fix" it, I would remove the prop, find a couple of large blocks of wood and a shop hammer.

Personally, a River Runner is not worth the $$$ for protecting the blades on a prop.
 
I have a river runner on my motor the river I'm on is very shallow and has a lot of gravel.
