A diver takes the prop off your boat in the water in Palm Beach Gardens, in the slip where it is kept. The repair goes to F&J, then the prop goes back on.
There is no haul-out to book for most props. Our diver pulls the prop in the slip, and F&J does the repair. Then the prop goes back on the shaft.
If the boat is kept at Soverel Harbour, ask the marina manager before you book. The marina's rules allow only minor maintenance, and the manager decides what counts. That work is limited to 8 a.m. through 6 p.m.
The boat does not need to go anywhere for this. FWC marks slow speed all year, shore to shore, from just north of Donald Ross Bridge to the mouth of Lake Worth Creek. Leave the boat tied up and we come to it.
Soverel Harbour's rules say no boat may be repaired in the marina except for minor maintenance, as determined by the marina manager. That work has to be done between 8 a.m. and 6 p.m., with as little disturbance to others as possible. The rules do not name prop removal. Ask the manager before you book a pull on a boat kept there.
FWC rule 68D-24.017(1)(b) marks slow speed all year, shore to shore, at Donald Ross Bridge. The zone starts 300 feet north of the bridge's north fender system and runs to the mouth of Lake Worth Creek. A boat with a prop problem does not have to run it. Our divers pull the prop where the boat is kept.

The marina manager decides. Soverel Harbour's rules allow no repairs in the marina except minor maintenance, as the manager determines. It has to be done between 8 a.m. and 6 p.m. The rules do not mention prop removal by name. Ask the manager first, then call us with the slip and the prop problem.
Yes. FWC marks slow speed all year, shore to shore, from 300 feet north of Donald Ross Bridge south to the mouth of Lake Worth Creek. A boat with a damaged prop does not need to make that trip. We pull props at the slip in Palm Beach Gardens where the boat is kept.
Yes, most props can come off underwater. In Palm Beach Gardens a diver pulls the prop in the slip, off the Intracoastal near the PGA Boulevard or Donald Ross bridge. The repair goes to F&J. Afterward the prop goes back on. At Soverel Harbour, the marina manager has to agree to the work first.
We need to know where the boat is kept and what is wrong with the prop. Give us the marina and slip, or the dock. Tell us the boat's length and whether the prop hit something, and where in Palm Beach Gardens the boat sits. If it is at Soverel Harbour, pass on what the manager said.
No. The prop comes off at the dock, but the repair is done at F&J, the prop shop we use. Once it is repaired, the prop goes back on the boat in the water. Your boat stays in its Palm Beach Gardens slip off the Intracoastal in between.
