Yes, and yes.
A good shop can easily do both.

take it to the shop and get an estimate . . . .
compare that price to a new prop that is properly balanced.
X2 with Cmos
Just to share a photo of how the "Old Timers" would change a pitch.
but of course, you must have about 50 years of motor experience to do this.

thanks.Good shops should be able to balance these correct?I can get a new prop for under $100.May cost closer to $75 to get it fixed and change pitch.I was thinking with going from an 11 pitch to 10 to increase rpms alittle.I can't get a true rpm reading with this I think.Need to get a tach first and go from there.

Agree tach first. But that one going to take so much work I'd get a new one.

Custom made at local marina.Have one on my 9.9hp Johnson also.Not cheap and made to fit each motor.Takes awhile to get one made.Had it made over the winter since my motor had to be at the shop to do it.Don't want to try getting one during boating season for sure.You do lose some speed with this of course.
