You made a good point - I also try and shave them down to get them as balanced as I can, and they will definitely work in a pinch …..

repairs to props are almost not worth it when you can find them sometimes for $150-$180 bucks if you look around. Keep in mind 99% of the motors out here require a engine specific hub kit, but the props (equal diameters) are almost interchangeable between engine brands.

So if you are only getting one "spare item" buy the hub kit and keep a tube of marine grease and an extra cotter pin in the tool box.
