Hi all,

I have been searching on hours for a stainless steel propeller for my 1988 Force 85hp model 856X8B without luck. Can anybody help me out here?

Yes I checked ebay, amazon, iboats, and google. I have seen on some forums people are using ss props on their force motors but they could possibly be a different year model where they do provide ss props. I am stumped.

Thank you for the help guys. I looked into that link but I didn't like how bent one of the blades looked but I did eventually find a company that makes OEM props into stainless, the companies name is Propco Propellers. Hopefully this can help out others looking for stainless steel props also!

Foods right about the collateral damage!!
IF?? there's a chance your gonna hit the bottom, EVER??
Then stainless might not be for you???

Had a 21 with twin 85hp. Used it in the Atlantic/Chesapeake and Delaware Bay and the tributaries leading to the ocean.
NEVER hit the bottom one time, until I let my co-captain drive.
Spun a hub and chewed up a prop within 5 min..
Oyster bed.

The aluminum props like the sacrificial anode.
It can save a propshaft or driveshaft.
