[QUOTE="DaleH, post: 441256, member: 15636"] FWIW up here in the northeast you can drop off props at your local boat stores, as the local prop shops go around once a week and pick up props for repairs. Can save you some driving - if a boat shop that participates is close to you of course - and it doesn't cost you anymore $$. Agree that unless you have a pricey prop to begin with, a new prop is the better route. But the idea of using an old for a spare is noted. TIP - I only use crocus cloth on a hardwood backer to dress nicks out of prop blades, as was told by a prop shop pro to never use a file on a blade, as it can spoil a future weld repair if/when needed (it can imbed steel filings into the material), but maybe that applies to big V6 SS props ...
