Prop repair

[Chewy]

Does anyone have a shop in the West Michigan area that they bring their prop to for repairs?  I have a 4-blade stainless Mercury Trophy Plus that is starting to show its age.  Just a few dings here and there but nothing major.  Just needs the blade edges to be cleaned up and to make sure its balanced.  Any help is much appreciated.

That's a great question. There used to be a shop in south central Michigan people sent props to. I believe I sent a prop there once and it came back real nice. Brinkmans Propeller Service in Grass Lake. Unfortunately, the number I have for them has been disconnected. It was a long time ago. I wonder if they went out of business?

I don't find a believable website though many business listings still exist for them? The website listed on their profiles is supposedly the email address for a pharmaceutical company in Europe? So I'm thinking out of business and something shady going on with their business listings?

I hope you can find someone.

I ended up finding a place in Grand Rapids.  West Michigan Propeller Inc.  I dropped it off and they said it would take 3 to 4 weeks.  Seems like they are busy so that's a good sign.  Guy who helped me seemed extremely knowledgeable.  I will let everyone know how they do.

Good to know. I saw their advertisements but without a personal experience or experience from people I know and trust, I didn't want to recommend them over anyone else. I hope it goes great for you.
