Well, brought the father in law on the boat for the first time....he had the bright idea of kicking us away from the dock into shallow gravel bottom water. I tried to kill be engine in time...but nicked the prop. I attached 2 pictures. Is this minimal damage...or prop replacement damage?
Thanks!!!

Use a file and knock the burrs off each blade and you're good to go.

I've sliced tomato's with worse than that
I wouldnt worry about it... unless you don't like your father in law then I'd bring it up every time I see him

While I was adjusting my transducer I found some bigger nicks. I filed everything down the best I could. Here are pics of the worst nicks

That's why I run a 4 blade, when it gets that bad I figure I still have about 3 blades worth of prop left!

Hawker,
I nearly spit up iced tea when I saw your prop
