There is nothing
more aggravating than breaking
the tip of your outboard prop
in shallow water. QuikAluminum® is just the
answer to the problem of repairing
that broken outboard prop. In
the next few pictures, you will
see how easy it is to fix that
broken outboard prop and save
money at the same time. |
|
|
Remove the
rough edges and reform the shape
of the outboard prop using a
file or other appropriate tools.
Be sure to remove any part that
is cracked beyond possible repair.
Clean the dust and filings from
the area to be repaired when
done. |
Be
sure to check the outboard prop
for cracks close to the shaft.
If you find one you may want
to have your local dealer recommend
a repair house that specializes
in repair of outboard props. |
|
|
Clean off the
old paint and rough up the surface
on both sides. This does two
things it insures that you will
get good adhesion of the QuikAluminum®
and
when you paint the prop it will
give you that new look again. |
|
|
Take the QuikAluminum®
out
of the tube and cut off enough
to make the repair. Mix the
QuikAluminum® by hand until
uniform in color. This will
take about 3 minutes and you
will be ready for the next step. |
|
|
Apply the QuikAluminum® to both sides
of the prop pressing it firmly
in to place. Form it to the
contour of the prop making sure
that both sides are covered.
The thickness should be about
1/8 inch thicker than the metal. |
|
|
When fully
cured (24 hours) reform the
contour with a file and sand
paper to the original shape.
QuikAluminum® can be filed,
sanded, drilled or formed into
shape using common hand tools. |
|
|
A little paint
and that blade is like new again.
The other blade just below my
hand will get the same treatment.
Just think
of the money saved! |

QuikAluminum®
