Frequently Asked Questions

Q: How long does it take to have a propeller repaired?
A: There is a 1 week turn around for propeller repair. However, if brought in by Monday it will be ready on Friday.

Q: How much will it cost to have a propeller repaired?
A: Cost is based on diameter size and number of blades. Repairs normally run approximately half the cost of a new propeller.

Q: Can a propeller be re-pitched?
A: A propeller can be pitched up or down two degrees from it’s original pitch. For example: a 19 pitch can be taken down to a 17 or up to a 21.

Q: What will a different pitch do to my performance?
A: Reducing pitch increases your RPMs by about 500, which will increase your power on the low end for a better take off. A lower pitch may be recommended for pulling skiers and tubers. Increasing your pitch lowers your RPMs by about 500 and gives you a better top end speed.

Q: What effect does the cupping on a propeller have on my performance?
A: Cupping (the turning up of the trailing edge of a propeller) adds pitch to a propeller. Adding cup to a propeller will decrease RPMs by about 200. Cupping will also help when there is cavitation.
