How long does it take to have my propeller repaired?
It depends on the shipping time to and from your home, however most props are repaired in 7-10 days.  Each propeller is physically in our shop for approximately 3-4 days. During the busy season repair times may increase, but we will notify you of any expected delay.

Can the cost of my repair be different than what is advertised on the website?
Possibly, but not likely.  The prices on the website cover most of the repairs we see.  We weld in nicks, straighten, tune, and then finish each prop.  The price would increase if there is more than a quarter sized piece out of a stainless steel prop.  More welding can be done on an aluminum prop for this price.

What type of finish do you use?
We finish our painted props with a marine and aviation type primer that is also a corrosion protector.  The topcoat is a high gloss black epoxy.

Are all propellers "repairable"?
No.  A propeller that has substantial damage that required too much rebuilding is better off being replaced.  HOWEVER, many boat owners are surprised as to how much we CAN repair.  The only answer to this is to send us your propeller, and if it cannot be repaired we will give you a substantial discount off of a new propeller in exchange for your scrap prop.  We do this as a service to our customers for allowing us the chance to repair your prop.  The price of the new propeller is just above our cost, to cover shipping of the new propeller to your home.

Do you repair all prop material types?
Yes and No.  We currently offer our ONLINE REPAIR SERVICE for aluminum and stainless steel props.  Our technicians will be happy to look at any other prop material (e.g., NiBrAl) props in our shop.  The reason for this is that those props require a specific estimate of repair charges that can vary widely.
