Prop

where is a good place to buy a prop for a 1997 johnson 200hp? I have a
raker 14 1/2 x 26 that was just fine but has some damage. Does most
insurance companies pay for prop and skeg damage.

A prop shop and make them look like brand new. Just remember that they
will most likely replace the hub and it has a break-in procedure.

Home owners will sometimes pay lower unit damage BUT usually your deductible
will wipe that out. How about a Stainless Prop for $133 if you RPMS will
allow a 3/4 less diameter? Joe Z.

Break in for a new hub? Never heard of that before....

Ed, Do a search on google. Lot's of sites list a break-in procedure.
Here is one. http://www.bogerprops.com/hub.html

It's simple to do and can extend the life of your hub.

Nope - generally your deductible will make making a claim more trouble &
expense than its worth...

It depends on the coverage. The guy who lives down the street from me
claims he has no deductible and that his prop rebuilds are covered. When I
looked at the difference in coverage costs I decided it was not worth it.

PS I had a prop repaired and repitched at The Propeller Company a while
back for $150. Thats a lot less then the 480 to replace that prop.

Oh yea! Deductible-free insurance policies are generally WAY too expensive
to justify the means. When you take out a car/boat/home policy you should
be planning to protect yourself from no less than a major incident, not tiny
claims. I think my standard deductible on my policies is 1k, and I know
I've saved that dozens of times over in insurance premiums.

As Bob points out, and as is probably Mr Evans' case, props can easily &
inexpensively be repaired & repitched if they have minor damage to them.

Larger deductibles can substantially reduce the premiums, but be aware that
if its on a vehicle, house, or boat that is financed there may be a problem.
The finance company may not accept an insurance policy with a larger
deductible as adequate for their contractual requirements.

LocalNet dialup IMO is a criminal organization.
