Propeller Repair

[Bistineau]

Fortunately Jim does have a spare prop. I didn't realize that it would be difficult to find one for such an old boat. I will remind him that he might want to keep it on the boat for emergencies.

I will review the technical information of your post with Jim.

Thanks for taking the time to post. I really enjoy everything that I have learned from this forum.

Has he tryed it yet on the boat at full throttle, to check for vibrations/balance? If not, encourage him to try it. That way if it is off a little he can get it to a prop shop to get it balanced so it is ready for use.Some people just want to say"it'll be all right", but when it's needed, then they find out it is trying to shake the motor apart. Have him put it on and run it in the water, not just on the trailer, makes a big difference.

I sent him a link to this thread and asked him to pay particular attention to post #7 & 11. Thanks again for everyone that took the time to post.

You have done really a great job. I have gone through these images. Nice man. How long did it take to repair the propeller?

I did it in an evening.
