Bent Prop

Just experienced first bent prop , and looking for a place in Houston to true it back. Anyone recommend a place near Humble, TX or Spring, TX?

Other's have had success at Baumann's. I was not impressed.

The next time I need it, I'll try Mike Hood.

I think both of these guys have a driver that circle's the greater Houston area several times per week and picks up props at dealerships. You might call and ask so you don't have to drive there. The dealer might charge you a small fee but that would be cheaper than driving if you are jammed up like me. (I made the drive to Baumann and its a PITA.)

Airtool,
Thanks for the info... I will check them out...

Baumann's used to be awesome when our boats had OJ's. But I'm not impressed with their work on Acme props. I don't know if they don't have the correct bucks or what. You can always send it back to Bill Weeks at Acme. They will fix them for $100.

Won't be your last bent prop.

Take a little time to learn how to replace one, buy a spare to keep on the boat, and at least you won't lose any time on the water.

Anyone have an on-line guide or pdf to replacing a prop on a Nautique?
