How to Straighten a bent boat propeller - Part 1

Short video on how to compare pitch and repair each blade of my ski boat propeller to make sure they are all as similar as possible, with no special tools. Part 1.
How to fix a bent ACME prop.

In case people wanted some feedback, I thought I'd report back that the boat runs as smooth as silk.  It takes off great with no shudder.  I'm very happy.  No vibrations at all any speed. Fixed!

Hi,
Well I would just like to say that there is no substitute for a professional propeller shop with a universal pitch propeller gauge. A true gauge let's the technician draw a set of pins set to the right pitch across the blade face for a proper reading. Comparing one blade to the next. I appreciate what this gentleman is trying to do in this video, But ultimately it is going to be inaccurate except for the most minor of repairs.
again there is no substitute for a professional propeller technician with the proper tools gauging and straightening a propeller.
Thanks

The best and easiest way to measure the blades I have seen so far! Great idea!
