I am thinking of replacing my folding two blade prop because of age, wear and tear.

Could you recommend a decent supplier, please.

The boat is a 28 footer Adams with an 11hp motor.
l am very happy with the prop l got presently so there is no issue there.
I got no idea what brand l got, no marking on it.

Any help will be appreciated.

I used Porters of Parramatta. Excellent advice and totally happy with the prop, a Gori two bladed folding. 15" X 10" with a 20hp engine on a 6.5 tonne boat. $1340 5 or so years ago.

Thanks sirg. I made a quick trip out this morning and adjusted the stopper for the plastic tubing. It sets better on the port cleat but after 11 years using the stbd I need to retrain myself.
