Anyone got a 10 inch dia 13-15" merc/mariner prop?

Yep, I'm after a prop for my mariner...Anyone got anything?

Ignore this- 5 minutes after I posted it I found a brand new one on a new ebay listing. £60 inc P&P-bargain!

I've got a 14" anyway-I was after a replacement after I dinged mine. 101/4 is the only size that quicksilver do for my engine but the small reduction in diameter doesn't seem to make any difference.

helpful chap at prop revs told me increasing the diam will improve acceleration, grip in the corners and help to reduce slip.

Yep-but 1/4" didn't make a noticeable difference (ooerr missus etc)

I had a 14" and a 13" on it before. It handles both OK( until really tall waves and 3 people aboard then the 13" is preferrable) I forgot to say-the one I've bought is a 14".

If you're buying standard ally props from mercruiser you won't be able to avoid diameter changes-it's apparently to do with the blades for 10"-14"all being pressed from the same blank. I suspect it'll be the same deal for all standard props. Don't know about s/s-never bought one.
