Prop Repair

[Bduck]

Saturday Oct 29 I was at Bear Lake with friends. I launched out of Garden City state park and headed south to the rockpile. I failed to pay attention to how close I was getting at the west side and quickly came to a dead abrupt stop. I had run my prop and lower end into a sandy small rock bottom. I knew when this happened I was in the shallows. Raising outdrive I could see that there was damage to my prop but couldn't tell the extent of damage from the angle I was in and my stomach started churning in my throat. This was a new SS prop I had purchased approx. 4mo earlier which doesn't come with a small price tag. Our adventure didn't halt as we fished the day. On the way back performance of the prop wasn't deterred but I knew this was going to be the only time I would run it to get off of lake. After trailering boat the damage wasn't as severe as I envisioned but was going to be fixed. The lower skag had dug into the lake bottom but I feel lucky that all that was needed done was to dress out the wound and repaint. No heavy or superficial damage at all. Monday Oct 31 I contacted perfect pitch prop in which I took it in at 5pm that day. Neal Stevens who owns that business said this was very much repairable. By noon Nov 1 I had regained possession of my repaired prop. Neal did a fantastic job making prop look new again. I recommend anyone needing prop repair to go see Neal Stevens, his work is top notch.
