GOOD NEWS. . . . The PICTURE UPLOAD FUNCTION IS WORKING !!! The tech folks at the parent company have been able to remedy the issue. You can upload pictures once again. Thank you for your patience.
Is there such a thing, and where would I order one? I've heard they are cheap "emergency" props to get you back to shore. My boat is a 4.3L Mercuiser (1995), so fairly common. To get the exact prop info, I'll have to dig a bit deeper.
The prop in the above link is not a temporary prop though. They were designed to be repairable by replacing the blades when one is damaged. They are a little cheaper in some cases than an aluminum but not by much, then when you purchase a set of replacement blades you have invested a small fortune.... i never heard to many good things about them they tend to flex big time and rob performance and damage easy. I would not spend $130 + for a spare prop I might never use....Plastic vs a rock HMMMM
I carry my old buggered up prop as a "emergency prop". Look on ebay or go to a marina you should be able to find a junk one really really cheap. FIY I would also get spare washers and a extra nut, They dont float too good when you drop them doing a emergency swap-out in the water.

Woody, in my opinion you would be better of with an aluminum prop as a spare. The plastic props aren't any cheaper and they certainly BREAK a lot easier.
