I found this crack on my boats propeller. There is a slight "cup" on the opposite side, but it wasn't big enough to get a picture of. Question is: Is this safe to run? Can it be fixed with welding? Thanks for your response.

In all honesty, I'd take it to a prop shop. Can't tell from the pic if it's stainless or aluminum
 
That is just the crack that you CAN see with your naked eyes.
I would venture out on a limb here to say there may be more to it that you CAN'T see.
Like the gentlemen above suggested, send it to a prop shop, have it X-Rayed.
Then, they will give you an estimate for repairing it (IF it can be repaired).
Or, toss it under your bow with the anchor for a spare to be used only in emergencies to get you home.

oh, and :WELCOME: pull up a seat and enjoy the ride
 
Thanks for your replies, it's a stainless prop. Time to send it in for a checkup.
