At what age should a prop be re-hubed? Props are in great shape blade wise. Haven't hit any obstructions or grounded out into objects.

I get my props balanced and looked over once a year.

If they are not slipping then don't rehub them. Have you ever pulled the props? Some manufacturers have hubs that can be replaced by the consumer. You should pull your props once a year and clean any mono line behind the thrust washer and regrease the prop shaft with a good quality salt water proof grease.

Yes, we pull the props each year and do the normal maintenance with a quality salt water proof grease.
