Re: first boat and restoration

There is no real damage to it just a couple od dings I was wondering if I can clean these dings up with a file or would that do more damage ??? I mean I wouldnt go overboard (no pun intended lol) just clean it up a bit.

steel wool or wire brush, some people polish them and they allmost shine like stainless steel, looks like there may be some pitting, wont hurt anything, you may like the prop when you are done and want to stay the same pitch, but untill you know how it performs, you wont know, maybe if the motor revs too high, or wont get into operating range, then you need to change it
