Labbed Hill Marine Props for my Volvo dps drive

Post by Big Block Power »

Ok. I just got my props back from bblades. Hats off too them. They made my junk looking new Hill Marine Props look great. Can't wait to see how they perform. If you hit one of the blades with your finger it sounds like speed. Lol ok a tuning fork.
The original blades were all uneven they all had diff shapes they had low spots plus all of the edges were rounded and not even close to being in balance. So it was either throw them out or fix them. I chose to do a off season fix. Saved a few bucks.
Now each blade is the same, they thinned out each blade and have them edges and a diff shape and cupping. They look sweet. Again I can't wait to give you the performance info. I didn't get the hole shot nor the midrange I was hoping for when I bought these. Plus 2 summers of messing around with them. 1 summer was without them. Thanks
Here's some before and after pictures.
