Another prop to restore. Purchased from the original owner. Never reworked. Prop sat for 20 years collecting dust. It is a small eared chopper, 14 x 22" pitch, number 48-75770A-4 22. Will post pictures after cleanup is done. This is the 10th prop to the collection and the last. Joke to my understanding wife is that the prop collection is my retirement fund.

After hours of working to remove scratches, here is what the prop looks like. It is meant to run with the motor off the transom. Prop is Mercury chopper 14" diameter x 22" pitch exhaust over the hub. Upon takeoff, the prop will rev up and then bite and fly at a certain point in time per the former owner. Stainless is harder than bronze to work on. Used combination of discs and sheets of sandpaper from 120, 240, 320, 400, 600, 800, to 1500 and then to Mothers Mag and Alum, and Flitz.
