Propeller Checklist
At least twice a year check the propeller for:
 Loose, missing or corroded hardware.
 Nicks, dings or missing propeller material.
 Bent propeller blades.
 Objects wrapped around the prop such as fi sh line.
 Decomposing propeller blades (electrolysis symptom).
 Aluminum prop with paint coming off near blade tip
(ventilation symptom).
 Check the propeller pressed in rubber hub for slippage.
Contact a propeller shop or your closest Regal dealer if any of the above
symptoms exist. They have special equipment to refurbish both stainless
steel and aluminum propellers. After making any blade alternations the
propellers are “re-pitched” in special prop jigs.
