put a chip in the prop. should I fix it buy a new one or leave it.
AL prop just buy a new one. Do not run very long like that, it will wipe out your bearings eventually with the uneven load.
I’d buy a new one and then have that one fixed, as well. Then, you have a spare.
In my world that prop still has plenty of life in it but in my world its life span would only be a couple more days because whatever caused that ding would end up eating it in short order. If you can feel the vibration when you are under power or if you notice a drastic drop in top speed then get it fixed otherwise use it until the end of the season or until you do a better job of eating it up. BK has a picture somewhere of a prop of mine that has one day of use on it. By the way—you can get that one rebuilt much cheaper than getting a new one. Believe me I know—I get them rebuilt two or three at a time.

live in elk river work in maple grove any ideas where I should buy one. Cabelas is near by but wondering if they’d be high.
Soderblooms will make that prop look like new for $40. You can have it back 2-3 days after you drop it off at Spee-Dee delivery. They also will sell you a new one.

Id call ahead Todd and the fam moved shop to up by 610 because of the 81 expansion project. Not sure if the move is complete or not.
My Al prop cracked tonight. Where on the prop does it say what degree it is? I haven’t taken it off the motor yet. Hoping it I will see something then.
It is on the hub on the inside of the prop. Or written up under where the hub connects on the alum.
