Doing my occasional inspection and repairs and discovered a hairline crack on the prop. Is this something I can send off and get repaired or will it only cause more damage in the future and just need to replace it?

I had a 2 blade with a crack in the blade like that. I took a grinder and followed the crack then tig welded it up. It lasted another year, then threw the blade at 4800 rpm and in 3 seconds the vibration cracked the crank case cover and destroyed the clutch. If I had to do it again I'd throw it away

if you have never slung a blade off at wfo yet, get ready for some excitement!!!!!! lol

I'd scrap it. The potential damage that a sling blade can inflict isn't worth what you may save. Out of curiosity, is that a 10 or 11 p prop? Can you post a pic of the other side?

Broken prop=broken LU especially if you have the new cast lower. Happened to me last weekend.

Please post a pic of the Engine side of the prop so I can see how the blades meet the hub

send it to gatortail before you scrap it they will probably help you out on a new prop. it never hurts to ask.

What number is stamped into that prop?

Oh ok thanks.

I'd cut that bastard in half and junk it. Baaaaaaad situation waiting to happen, lucky you caught it!
