Boat ramp made contact with prop

But back to the title of your thread... I think you got things bass ackwards

My main concern would be making sure the prop is perfectly balanced still.

An imbalance could wear out your shaft seal prematurely.

As suggested, I would buy a new prop and send this one off for repair, then ultimately, a backup.

Just really depends on how bad it is. Have a small ding on mine and still running the hell out of it. One or 2 more trips to the laguna and the sand will have her smoothed back out. Lol

Get two small sledge hammers, 2.5 lbs work good and use those to fix any minor dings and dents. Use one as backup as you work the dent with the other one.

How did you damage the prop without ripping the skeg off or doing serious damage to it?

If it were me, I would either buy a new prop or get that one repaired. Like others have said, next time you hit something it may destroy the prop and leave you stranded. Getting a prop fixed will cost a lot less than the next problem you have from running a unbalanced prop long term also.

Might give McGill's Propeller a call. They are in Lewisville.

As MertzonMan said, I used Nettles for years. In my business dealing with flood waters and reserviors accross the state we used them often. For us having multiple stainless spares were in order. Fishindude is on point with finding a local dealer. You might bounce around a bit until you find one your comfotable with. Hopefully you don't need them that often to have to figure that out.

Thanks guys! I appreciate your advice as always.

Not sure, maybe it was the angle I was at.

Skag could of been turned to the side. Just a thought.
