I know that sounds bad, but we managed most of the season with the damage. When a prop is repaired are the blades shortened and grinded down to meet the dinged area, or is something applied to the missing area, sealed and then grinded. Ideally i would like to get a new one and repair the old one.
What is the best place to get a new prop? Winterizing shop quoted me at $150, but I think I can beat that price online change the prop myself.
Thanks
