Steve,

MichiganHydroplaneTV is working on a Propeller video and should have it ready for release and upload by mid February. In it they will cite a very good blog by Mercury Racing on propeller theory. Here is a link to that content at the Mercury website.

Ok lets say you want to do some tweeking to a prop just to play with and experiment..I have seen folks use a very smooth round rock and hammer but where do you get decent tools to do the job right?
