Desig Help?

I have spent the last hours trying to model a jet ski impeller.  I have googled and searched different videos online and have made a crude propeller. (see attatched image)  Does anyone have some suggestions?  Any help would be appreciated

You do not need the 3D Sketch helix to create a helical Coil surface feature.

 

Can you post a picture of the actual prop (or url to a similar prop)?

 

I can't figure out where you are going with this (Extrusion 3), but I suspect you want to Trim the surface before Thicken.

Thanks for the response.  I am looking for something that looks similar to any of these impellers.  I have tried to project to a curved surface but still cant seem to get the right look.

I didnt realize I posted the complete failure of my propeller.  I removed extrusion 3 and looks a little better however still not quite right.
