Propeller Repair

Hi Guys,

Can anyone recommend someone to repair/refurb my prop from my Yamaha 225 engine.

Rib is located in Southampton so someone local or can post it if need be.

Thanks
Akis

Steel Developments. Pretty reasonable considering cost of replacement, especially if stainless steel. https://www.steeldevelopments.net

Cheers guys - Steel Developments keep coming up on the facebook groups too and are fairly local to me so will give them a go.

Thanks for the advice!

We use Darglow in Wareham/Poole for our sailing yacht feathering props, and they have always been superb with servicing and repairing those as needed.

But as per the above, Steel Developments are the ones you tend to hear most about dealing with RIB props.
