DanD Posted August 23, 2017 Report Share Posted August 23, 2017 Has anyone dealt with United Propeller & Machine in Orillia, for a prop repair? My nephew's prop on his 75 hp Mercury hasn't been hit or anything; it's just starting to get ratty around the edges with a bunch of hairline cracks starting. Figured I'd get it fixed for him before one of those cracks turns into a chunk missing. Or does anyone have a recommendation for another shop? Dan.

AKRISONER Posted August 23, 2017 Report Share Posted August 23, 2017 i feel like a replacement prop on a boat that size would cost nearly the same to get one repaired. I recently picked up a prop for $110 shipped out of the states Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

mistaredone Posted August 23, 2017 Report Share Posted August 23, 2017 City Wide did a shredded pro and a broken skeg a few years ago for me. Great price and the prop and skeg still look new today Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
lowerunit Posted August 24, 2017 Report Share Posted August 24, 2017 Just had mine done at City Wide. I am assuming yours is a stainless prop.Minimum $150 for repair does great work and timely. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

OhioFisherman Posted August 24, 2017 Report Share Posted August 24, 2017 A spare prop isn't a bad thing to keep in the boat, even if it's not an expensive one. You can waste a lot of time looking for a replacement on a vacation. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Chuck Enwinde Posted August 25, 2017 Report Share Posted August 25, 2017 Another vote for Citywide, though it's listed as Citywide Propeller Repair now. Buddy took off most of his skeg and most of two blades. He ordered a new prop and went to Citywide to get the skeg repaired. For no additional charge he fixed the prop that my buddy assumed was toast. Within a couple hours of dropping it off it was as if it never happened.

DanD Posted August 25, 2017 Author Report Share Posted August 25, 2017 (edited) OK you guys talked me into it; Citywide it is. LOL It's not going to be busy here at the shop today and the 50 Chevy needs to stretch her legs and blow the cobwebs out her exhaust. All I have to say is. ROAD TRIP!!!!!!!!!!!!! Dan.

DanD Posted September 26, 2017 Author Report Share Posted September 26, 2017 An update on the prop repair. Just opened the box that Citywide Prop Repair had sent the prop back to me in. The thing looks brand new; no signs of weld marks and the curvature of the blades all look exactly the same. Very happy with the way it turned out. $69 bucks taxes in. Welders here in town won't turn their welders on for less then a $100.00! Thanks to all that suggested having the prop repaired by Louie. Dan.
