Where Seagulls Dare 0 Report post Posted December 7, 2011 I have some small pit holes in the blades of my propellers. These are Duo-props on my 340SY. There are about 6 to 10 holes distributed across the 8 blades on each engine. More obvious on the starboard side engine. The Volvo agent says this is normal and nothing to worry about. The props are only 8 months old. I would appreciate any comments. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
Rip5 0 Report post Posted December 8, 2011 Yes, it is nothing unusual. Especially if you are in salt water. You can have a prop shop weld the holes to fill them in, then grind and polish the props and check on a MRI scanner to make sure they are at spec. Probably a couple hundred dollars per set to have this done. The pitting will not effect the performance of your boat hardly at all. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
