0 IFallsRon Posted July 22, 2003 Share Posted July 22, 2003 Best place I've found is Precision Propeller Repair in St. Joseph. 363-4637 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
0 Guest Posted July 22, 2003 Share Posted July 22, 2003 That Waconia landing area is tough on the props... We dinged ours as well [This message has been edited by fishnAddict (edited 07-22-2003).] Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
0 92python Posted July 22, 2003 Share Posted July 22, 2003 On Hwy 7 in Minnetonka as you are going East just past 101, there is a Yellow mailbox with a prop on it. Try him. He has fixed a few things for me. I think Specialized Welding is the company name. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
0 BUSHWAC Posted July 22, 2003 Share Posted July 22, 2003 Better parts in Bloomington, Mn. best prices around. I had my 60hp prop rebuilt for $35.00. tough to beat from what I was seeing!! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
0 EBass Posted July 22, 2003 Share Posted July 22, 2003 35.00! Wow that is cheap. I was thinking Twin City Outboards, but I believe it's more than 35.00. Better Parts huh, I will look them up. I have a prop that I need to get remolded again. Thanks BUSHWAC Quick Q - is there a story to your "handle"? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
0 bigeyes Posted July 23, 2003 Share Posted July 23, 2003 Jones, the solution is just don't repair it. Mine curently has whole chunks missing from all 3 blades no sense in fixing it. If you do that, next trip out guess what. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
0 Guest Posted July 23, 2003 Share Posted July 23, 2003 I believe it is bad for the engine to run when the prop. is off balance... At least that is what I've been told. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
0 BUSHWAC Posted July 23, 2003 Share Posted July 23, 2003 EBass- my handle is a spin off of my last name. My buddies started calling me BUSHWAC because I always had a shortcut on our BWCA canoe trips. I don't think they'll ever forget those " SHORT CUT'S "!! Also, I think a lot of people who "rebuild" prop's will send them out to people who actually rebuild them. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
