i have a few minor dings in my alum prop. They're just some nicks on the blades. i was thinking of filing them down to remove the edges. Any thoughts?

That should be fine. If you notice vibrations you might need to get it balanced. Severe out of balance with wipe out the prop shaft seals.

Jim,
If you don't feel comfortable doing it yourself, give me a call and bring it over and I'll take care of it,

Pretty easy to do. I work it every year. The stupid lobster dings are a pain to ease out
