I took a Mercury Quicksilver standard 14 X 19 3 BLD RH aluminum propeller in for repair @ Erie Propeller Repair Local Toledo Shop.
only one of the three blades was damaged the other two looked brand new, The damaged tip was missing less than
1/2 inch of material. Should be an easy fix? I went back to pick up repaired propeller and the Shop told me $90.00
I questioned the repair cost by saying it was only one blade tip that was damaged? The shop told me it was $90.00 because
They had to check the other two blades??? They check the blades by dropping the prop on a master fixture and rotating
It takes less than 5 seconds to do this??? I needed the prop for a spare so I paid the $90.00 to “ERIE PROPELLER”
When the shop owner gave me my receipt I looked him in the eye for a few seconds and said Now I know Why the Navy Calls them “SCREWS”!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!
