What do you pay to repair a prop these days. I just had my prop repaired by a MC dealer and it cost me $185. Does this sound like the going rate or did I get ripped? LAst year i thought it ran about $120. Its for a 2002 MC Xstar

I had mine dinged out and balanced for $120.00 last year.

$75 for just rebending. $110 if he has to weld on some more NiBrAl.

American River Propeller. Absolutely perfect when I get them back. Better than factory. He reballances them, to a much higher standard.

Cost all depends on how bad the prop is damaged and how kind the dealer and/or prop shop is feeling that day.

I had a prop that was mangled bad enough that we could barely limp back to the ramp at idle. Cost me ~ $100 to have that fixed.

Had another one that clipped a sand bar and curled the edges. Vibrated enough to let us know it was hurt but we could keep going. Had that one fixed for free!
