So you are saying I shouldn't get this as a main prop? On their website it says they were designed as a spare but now they are a lot better and new boats come with the like regals crown lines etc

I have never seen another composite prop in the wild besides mine. It also says that the manufacturer offers a Quicksilver 19P Aluminium blade as well. I would guess that 95%+ are sold with the AL prop on them. Not sure about Europe.

Back... just bought it... probably should have asked on here or the shop prior to purchase but it’s just dawned on me... i normally put a block of wood between the cav plate and the prop to tighten the prop... will these fins break off on the comp one if I do the same?

Rising this from the dead - took her out for the penultimate trip of the season- cruising at 30mph hits some reeds - and got a dirty vibration stopped her and guess what..? Missing blade! Two trips grrr POS - lucky I was only two miles from home so cruised back at a massive 2mph!

Most carry a spare prop with them, like a spare tire in your boot ..
You should carry some spare blades and wrench to repair ... In case it ever happens again.
Or just a cheap banged up spare aluminum prop to get you home.

Yea good thinking - would it do any damage to the drive as out of balance? If I had an ally prop would it have ripped the reeds to you think? Now I need a new 4 blade
