Good Prop Shop?

[KDAVID1]

Does anyone have a good suggestion for a good prop shop? I have one more trip to make to the lake this year before I put her down for the winter and start taking things apart (for new carpet, lower unit oil change, mount battery charger, fix prop, etc.) I've run the prop since August and need it cleaned up for next year. Two years ago my dad chewed up a bit of gravel so it needs some work. OH--its a ss Yamy pro v II on a merc--thanks in advance.

Many thanks. I will take a look--I put the boat down yesterday so it's time to start some work on it.
Thanks again for the direction.

I'd go with a prop shop that uses Prop Scan technology- much more accurate than the old hammer and pitch gauges.
I used Black Dog a few years back and was impressed. It's worth the money.

I see you're in North Mississippi. Check out JIM'S PROPELLER SERVICE 256-766-1717, 3407 Huntsville Rd., Florence, AL 35630. He's about 55 miles east of Corinth. Call ahead, as he has reduced hours in the Fall and Winter.

He is excellent at rebuilding props, and has 27 years' advice when you're purchasing a new prop.
