I ran over a rope a few weeks ago while traveling out to the S.D. Buoy. I luckily removed the rope while at sea. That was the same day I was hit broadside by another vessel near the bait barges. I just replaced my zincs and noticed the ding on one blades of my port prop. I live in Lemon Grove and I think there is a prop repair shop here. I was wondering if I should try to flaten the ding. I was also thinking about just pulling both props and take them in to get them trued up by a pro, instead of trying to flaten out the ding myself. Anybody have experience in this problem or recommend a prop person?

He does great work, but you'll probably leave his shop trying to figure out how to get one of those hot sand cars without your wife knowing about it!
