Chamfering a lofted Section

First time poster here looking for some guidance. I'm a 3D printer and have been working on trying to teach myself how to use Fusion 360 through a lot of trial and error. I've got this fishing lure I've designed and am now trying to chamfer all of the top edges so they are smooth. I created a 45 degree angle tip on each propeller using the loft feature to connect them to the main part of the propeller. I've tried combining different faces/edges to see if that would allow me to chamfer the edges all simultaneously or individually but have had 0 luck. Here is the design with the red markings marking what I'd like seamless chamfered(on all propellers):

Here's an idea of how it should look. As you can see, chamfering just the tip, doesn't seamlessly integrate it into the rest of the propeller. Any ideas would be greatly appreciative.

Is it multiple bodies? if so, combine them.

There are better ways to model the whole thing but to get it printed.....

Add a chamfer between the flat portion and the tip-up, then chamfer the top surface of the blade as you need.

From your graphic I see a "Fillet" in the marked area.  Do you want a "Fillet" or a Chamfer"? Please attach your model.  If you do not know how to attach your Fusion 360 model follow these easy steps. Open the model in Fusion 360, select the File menu, then Export and save as a F3D or F3Z file to your hard drive. Then use the Attachments section, of a forum post, to attach it.

Sorry, I meant fillet. I have the 3 tips as individual bodies of 1 component, and the cylinder and propellers are one body. I tried to combine in various ways to no avail. It's as if the portion I circled in red in the below screenshot does not conjoin with the faces on either side of it. If this happened, I would imagine it would all fillet evenly. I also attached the f3d, may be easier to look at that way.

that's exactly what I was trying to do. I think I kind of understand what you did, just not sure what surface patch/stitch is but I can research it. Thanks for that!
