STANDARD REPAIR PROCEDURES  


    All propellers are repaired as close to OEM standards as possible. Pitch and Rake are set back using pitch blocks, when
    available, giving an exact pitch and rake setting for each blade. When pitch blocks are NOT available, pitch and rake is
    set by hand using Baumann's own pitch gauges to measure settings to the nearest degree. This type of workmanship is
    what sets us apart from other propeller shops. Three generations of craftsmanship are put into every hand pitched
    propeller.

    After pitch and rake are set to OEM standards, the blades are measured for correct diameter. Baumann Marine has a
    standard of rebuilding every propeller to original size, unless the customer gives specific instructions. Simply trimming
    the edges on simple repairs could seriously affect the performance of your boat, as well as shorter the life of your
    propeller.

    The welded propeller is then ground down and sanded to the original blade shape and size. Edges on the leading edges
    are left rounded, not squared off, to give a more efficient entry. All propellers requiring cup are now cupped back to
    OEM specifications or as requested.

    Every propeller is then static balanced to a zero tolerance to ensure the smoothest performance possible. This also
    greatly reduces the chance of the propeller causing damage to the lower unit, due to vibration.

    The last procedure of repair is finishing. If the propeller is a painted propeller upon arrival, it is repainted back to factory
    color. If the propeller has a felt finish or a high polish finish, it is the cleaned accordingly. After the polishing process, the
    propeller is rechecked to ensure a precision balance.

    Baumann Marine is also able to do more advanced repairs for your propellers. Complete blade replacements, tip
    replacements, Changing more than two inches of pitch, are all common repairs and are accomplished easily in shop.

    We also replace hubs for just about every prop available. Most propellers requiring hub replacement only can be taken
    care of while the customer waits. Thus saving you both time and money.

    Baumann Marine provides numerous other services for propellers, rudders, shafts, couplings, struts, and other marine
    related hardware. If you have any questions, please call or e-mail us and we will be glad to answer your question.
