    Can this propeller be saved?

    Lesson: inspect the boat launch before you use it. Even if you've launched there a dozen times.

    So this happened when I launched my boat at Canoe Beach in Shuswap Lake. Water is at a 100 year low. I should have known better. It just a comedy of issues that resulted in this:





    I guess my question is, can this be fixed? The damage isn't bad but in this case there are chunks seemingly missing. It's not just a matter of bending it back.

    Back to my 537 to enjoy this vista.... On the plus side I did my first underwater prop swap!

            Yes and if you don't have anyone local then call Mazco props out of saint Louis. The guy is a great. I am sure if you send him these pics he will let you know the approx cost. That's a good one so way the cost of good used prop or repair.

              Any decent prop repair shop can fix that, they've seen much worse.

                Hey Johnnie, there is a place in Airdrie that can fix your prop.
                That really sucks, but good thing you packed a spare.

                    was the prop damaged while you were reversing? Not really relevant to your original question, but just wanted to ask.

                      Good observation. Yes I believe it was. All these 'people' left their boats tied up along the launch so I had to to some tricky maneuvers. In the end I walked the boat out in to deeper water but the damage was already done.

                      I ended up taking it to Seca Marine for repair. They said it won't be a problem. Also got this bad boy.

                            It is a 4'10" blunt nose Honu.

                            I had originally ordered a custom Honu but it was stuck in paint forever. Jeff @ Soulcraft did me a solid and gave me my money back to buy this off the shelf at Seca in time for my holiday.

                            The weights are doing a great job keeping the glue stuck. They are doing a poor job at helping us exercise.
