Something made a 1 mm nick in the leading edge of one blade on my left Lab Cleaver.

Are there any good prop shops in the Bay Area to trust with the repair?

I would call Boat Masters in Livermore. Drew will have a good contact.

I'll second asking Drew. He won't be the one repairing the prop, but he knows everyone in the area, and can get you in touch with the right person.

Added bonus, he knows his shit with Merc stuff, and is the only one I would take a boat to in that area!

Tru-Pitch it is, then.

My local high performance prop guru friend closed shop many years ago, and I don't trust people who work on propellers for commercial fishing boats.

There is a great prop guy in Norway, but cross-border shipping is complicated.

Better to head up to Sacramento. Going to California in 2 weeks.

Just talked to both Andrew and Gary. Seem like great guys, and they clearly take what they do very seriously.

I hear you folks are getting some rain.

My brother just sent me a photo of hail the size of tennis ball and waves in his swimming pool big enough to make STV owners pull back the throttle.
