 My dad backed into my prodrive..... Ya I know.  I dont think he even knew he hit it. Boat was hooked up to my polaris ranger. He bumped it hard enough to push the Ranger on the concrete about 4 inches with the parking brake locked.! It bent the cavitation plate on the corner up a few inches and bent one blade on my prop inward about 1/4 inch. I can fix the plate but what should I do about the prop? Try to straiten it or run it and see how it rolls? Its been one of them "when it rains it pours kinda months" !

Re: My dad backed into my prodrive..... I can't imagine any good coming out of running that prop again

Re: My dad backed into my prodrive..... Grrrrrrr. Can it be repaired?
It appears to be bent on the tip.. You can see the difference in the blades when u turn it past the skeg..

Re: My dad backed into my prodrive..... Buy a new prop, have that one repaired and throw it in the tool box for a backup. The cavitation plate shouldn't be too hard to line back up.

Re: My dad backed into my prodrive..... I'd remove the prop and run it in gear to make sure the prop shaft isn't bent.
