Topic: Where is best place to get a prop reconditioned – hydrofoil ?

I need to get the prop reconditioned on my 96 pantera, 200 merc efi....I just need it smoothed up... Also I broke one of the plastic "hydrofoils" off at the lake the other day and now when I get to certain rpm during a hole shot I get either ventilation or cavitation...are aluminum hydrofoils available and are they any better? Thanks, Gary

You may be able to find a good prop shop around any of your major lakes. Not sure where Clyde, Texas is. Port City Propeller Service in Fort Smith, Arkansas does a good job as well, but you will probably have to ship there. As far as hydrofoils, BCB has never recommended them, as they feel it hides a poor set up. You may want to post a “set up” question on the general forum section of this website. Then you will get some more help.96 Eyra/12 Mercury 175 Pro XS with 2015 single axle trailer2017 Victory Gunner
