glenner Posted January 21, 2015 Report Share Posted January 21, 2015 Wanted to drop a belated thanks to the board for the quick response I got a couple of months ago when I posted looking for a local shop to replace my prop hub. Took the suggested advice and went to City Wide Welding in Mississauga and boy was I ever pleased! I took my 25 year old prop in to have the hub replaced and when I went to pick it up, I tried to tell him that he was giving me back the wrong prop! They not only replaced the hub, but repaired many years of nicks and dings and dents and painted it so it looks brand new, all for the original quoted price for hub replacement. Great service and I can't wait to get my "new" prop in the water as I'm sure I'll notice the difference.. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

glenner Posted January 22, 2015 Author Report Share Posted January 22, 2015 And you'll think ypu have a new boat too with newly repaired and balanced prop be mucj smoother I'm sure you're right. I finally figured out that this was what was causing me to lose 2-3 mph off top speed for each of the last several years. (At least I hope that was the cause) Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Sour_Squirrel Posted January 31, 2015 Report Share Posted January 31, 2015 How long did you have to wait to get the prop repaired? Do they do repairs to Stainless Steel props? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Big Cliff Posted January 31, 2015 Report Share Posted January 31, 2015 That is the kind of posts we need to see more of on here. So often we forget to mention the people that go above and beyond when it comes to customer service! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Raf Posted January 31, 2015 Report Share Posted January 31, 2015 (edited) How long did you have to wait to get the prop repaired? turnaround time likely varies with how busy they are. i've dropped a dinged prop off on monday and had it ready for the boat friday in peak summer.

glenner Posted February 3, 2015 Author Report Share Posted February 3, 2015 turnaround time likely varies with how busy they are. i've dropped a dinged prop off on monday and had it ready for the boat friday in peak summer. It was 10 days turnaround for my prop repair - might have been quicker if I asked, but I wasn't in a hurry. Sour_Squirrel, don't know if they do repairs to stainless or not, trying to remember if I saw any stainless props there of the hundreds they had on the shelves, but I can't recall. I'm sure a call to them would get you an answer to that question. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
