Anyone ever tried this?
Stumbled across this and wondered if anyone has any experience with this or similar?
You must scroll down and read the last sentence!!

"You can e-mail a photo of a prop so I can show where to apply a hammer"
nah i dont think so 
i dont know much about the dark arts of proppellers but i think there is a little more to it than that!

I can see the theory behind the tip fins, but i've never personally seen them on a competition boat, so can only assume they aren't that great!
His last bit about making your prop better by hitting it with a hammer does worry me slightly, I won't be doing that to my spinelli any time soon!

The manuals are great, cheers. Managed to get the part No, and got a price for an equivalent £305
There's a few in the states and even though the pound is not as strong at the moment, with delivery they are £167. I've got one coming!
Cheers.
