There is a place over at sparrow's point, when heading south exit right before the key bridge. I am trying to remember it....ok, found an old receipt. It is called Miller's Island Propeller. Here is the link http://www.millersislandprop.com/. I'd highly recommend them. I know lots of marinas use them, I took my prop to them directly myself. |

How bad is the blade? If it is just dinged up you can smooth out the edge with a grinder. I even banged a dent out pretty clean on one of my blades with no problem.

I have also done the same with very good results. Just put it on the flat part of the bench vice and pounded the blade flat and then smoothed the edge. Runs great with no vibrations, just isn't as shiny as the rest of the prop but that doesn't matter when you keep it in a slip all summer. |

It's just one blade with the edge turned up about 1/4 to 3/8 on the outer part. I though, I might be able to bang it back into shape and round it off with a grinder. Doesn't appear to bad. As you know im not the only one looking at the blade. I think I'll try. Thanks
