Not sure if this is what you're after but worth a look if it's a Propulse: http://marinestore.co.uk/thestore/re...ropellers.html

HTH

Edit: Another one to try if it's a Propulse: http://www.tnorrismarine.co.uk/propulse.php

Or if it's a Piranha you could try getting in touch with them directly: http://www.piranhapropellers.com/

If it's not a Propulse or Piranha there is a 3rd maker with a full page ad in the current Sportsboat and RIB magazine (I think that's the title), I cannot remember the manufacturer but I am sure about the ad.

The Propulse blades are £25 each inc Vat from any Plastimo dealer, I was quoted last week.

Happy hunting.

Get a metal prop.

paid €200 for what was supposed to be da best thing since sliced bread. Hit a submerged stump and made bits of replacable blades literally 5 minutes after putting it on. Had to paddle half a mile back to slip. Stainless steel or nothing from then on. Its cheaper in the long run.
