I heard there's a guy in Collinsville who repairs outboard props. Ours got roughed up a bit and I want to get it redone. Anybody know of someone who's good at repairing aluminum props?

You can drop it off at Dori Marine in Freeburg and they have a guy that does a fine job pretty reasonably. 539-9881.

Thanks Dave. I'll give him a call. Most places I've talked to farm their prop repair out.

Thanks bdw. I'll check with them too. I'll probably wait till later when we're less likely to be putting the boat in the water since the prop's still usable. I could always put the old prop back on while fixing the new one two. It helps having a spare.
