Bent trolling motor prop shaft....:-(

[JKTrevecca]

Bought a new(to me) trolling motor off capitalist. I was super excited about it and when I got home, I put 12v to it in my shed like an idiot. Well... the prop slapped against the floor several times and bent the prop shaft. I straightened it with a rubber mallet but it's not 100% perfect. It's useable but not perfect. Any suggestions? Thanks guys. Oh yeah... any GPS coordinates for jpp crappie while you're at it? Pretty please? Lol

Gonna try this.... ingenious! "taking the prop off grab a magic marker turn your motor on slow bring the marker to the shaft very lightly so it marks the direction of bend bend it back the opposite direction wipe off marker reapply and bend until it balanced i did this to my new motor after I bent the shaft and its been running 3 years now with no vibration or noise
