Chunk out of prop

[Keith Buchanan]

Hi all, took my merc 50 elpto out for the first time yesterday since lower unit service and a new exhaust gasket. Everything ran fine but I hit a rock and took a small chunk out of the leading edge of one of the prop blades, the prop is a 10.5 inch 13 pitch, is there companies in the UK that can repair this sort of damage or is it a new prop..<br /><br />Regards Keith..

Any welder who has TIG (and a bit of experience) should be able to handle it.....

Keithy<br /><br />You weren't by chance out at Stanah were you?<br />There is a place near there called Riverside Marine number 01253 850050 he should be able to sort it. <br />If not flick through the yellow pages within Boats or Marine engineers sections.<br /><br />Mark
