Need a new prop

[3ofaknd]

I boat a used boat about 7 or 8 years ago and now need a new prop. The part # on the prop is 48-825902-21, offshore mercury marine series. Should I stick w/stainless steel or does it really matter? I run it in lakes and the delta. The boat is a 2003 Laser Vision w/a MerCruiser 350 Mag/Bravo One; 375 HP; 22+; 3100 lbs.

what is your current RPM WOT? and speed? need that first before any recommendations

I don't know what RPM WOT means? I'm a female and not familiar w/WOT and speed?.... you mean top end speed? If so, it's about 55 mph.

WOT (wide open throttle) We need the rpm( revolutions per minute)@ wot. Gps speed is best. (global positioning system).
Your prop is a 21" pitch.
Why is it you think you should replace your prop.It probably can be repaired.

Well I bent one of the blades pretty good. It has a nice curl on the end. I heard I can have it flattened out but then I have to worry about the balancing and how it will affect the drive? Correct? Could cause severe damage, right?

I would take the bent prop to a reputable prop shop and get it repaired,........
