I'm on the iboats parts website right now trying to order a few things and I'd like to order a prop. The two props that I have right now (one is heavily damaged; I'm replacing that one) both have the following information on the ring of the prop: J14 X 23P, M, V

I was told the better aluminum prop to buy is a "Turning Point Legacy" (???; could have the name slightly wrong).

I don't really want to change anything from this setup, just want to replace it. Here are the basics on our boat: 2005 Bayliner, 4.3L Mercruiser I/O and we use it for basic cruising and pulling a couple 10 years olds on a 66" diameter tube. We usually have two adults and two 10 years olds in the boat, but maybe 210% - 20% of the time we'll have up to 4 adults and 4 kids.

Again, if it's possible for you to point me to the exact iboats page where my replacement prop would be listed that would be great. I've tried using their "prop finder" service online but they just ask for basic boat info and then, voila, they toss up a myriad of options and I have no clue what I'm looking at. Thanks!

Re: Need help ordering a replacement prop

Ok, I poked around my boat and found that I have an "Alpha One" unit, and there are 15 teeth (splines?) on my prop shaft. I think that means I need this prop: http://boatpropellers.iboats.com/Mercruiser/155_-_210_HP_(All_Years)_23.00-Pitch_Hustler_H-1423_Propeller/765/10182/?**********=116012973&*******=816350189

If this is accurate, the only thing I'm confused about is what this "hub kit" is for. The reconditioned prop that was returned to me (after being fixed by West Marine) has a rubber insert on the inside and I just slide it over the prop shaft w/out doing much to it. Should I be looking for a different prop/hub, or just use this free hub kit in place of the rubber insert?
