Can I fix this with a file.

[rweber81]

I dont remember hitting anything last weekend but when we got out of the water I noticed this. Can i simply file it smooth again?

[eddie]

no it needs to go to Bblades or Rock Valley IA for repair.

Whats a repair cost?

[Pat Bates]

Holy crap! :shock:

That's a big hit. No, you need to get it to Brett at Bblades.

its just a little knick

The problem is, if you file it off, it takes the balance out of the prop... meaning it'll start eating things in your drive because the prop isn't straight or balanced anymore.

You should get it fixed.

It definately needs a professional repair.

Whoa, new carpet, dinged up prop, after market fuel injection.......

Might be cheaper to just get another boat.
Time to start boat shopping. It doesn't sound like this one fits anymore.

Careful though, I am pretty sure that anything over 25 foot actually comes with a set of Bolt Ons.....[smilie=eck02.gif]

Right now is a great time to buy. Prices get really low just before its time to winterize and store.

Oh, and they boys above are right. Yes, you can file it smooth, but it doesn't really fix anything.
With the damage on one blade like that with it bent twards the rear, I would suspect it drug on the ramp maybe with the low water? (seen that up close before ):oops:

At our shop you will be looking at $175.

It needs to be straightened, welded, ground to original spec., balanced and buffed.

It will be as good or better than new.
