Re: Leading edge of Prop
I have a hard time immagining walking out and taking a file or a grinder to one of my props. I've had them new and I've had them used, no matter what we're talking about two, three, maybe four hundred bucks here. This ain't like some $20 lawn mower blade we're talking about here. <br /><br />I've found a better way. I give my prop guy his hundred bucks and we start dialing my prop in. When I finally say its done it will either be because we have exhausted either my supply of money or his decades of hard earned knowledge about props. I don't tell him to sharpen blades or round off blades or bend some cup into or out of blades. I tell him where the boat is run, and when and how, and I tell him what its doing and what I want it to do. Sometimes he tells me my expectations are not achievable, sometimes he tells me they are and he can or can not do it. The guy never shoots me any blanks. You need to find one like him.<br /><br />Thom
