Bent Prop

[billndeidre]

We dog-eared the end of one blade this weekend. Not bad but afterwards there was a distinct vibration at around 24 mph. Can I fix the bent blade myself or will this require a more skilled technitian?

Definitely have it repaired by a qualified shop. If you have an ACME CNC-milled prop, you will want to contact ACME and find a shop near you that has the correct blocks to get it back to the exact shape. Otherwise, it will not perform well, and could still have some vibration.

Good to know. Thank you for your help!

I speak from experience. Don't waste your time trying to do it yourself. Take it to a prop shop.:D

Call Acme and make sure that where you take it, has the right blocks, as Dingleberry said.
