Merc had a bad run of props the reason it cracks,The maching on the back of the blade left stress risers and makes the crack.I went thru 4 of them.had 2 warranted. the new style is machined in a different direction.I heard there was even a memo from merc stating the defective props.

I lost a blade on one it took out the gimble pin from the vibration

If you can repair a chewed prop from hitting bottom, what would be the concerns with repairing a crack on an otherwise perfect prop?
I have had props that had 1 to 2" cracks in them and had them welded and they held up. If they are welded and repaired correctly, they will be fine. 3 months ago I had my 5 blade repaired with a 1" crack and have run 3 poker runs with it since with no problem.
