Turning Point makes it easy to find the propeller that will work on your boat. They manufacture both stainless steel and aluminum propellers. The propellers come in the following series,Express,Hustler,Legacy,Patriot and Rascal.

You can choose an aluminum propeller or stainless steel. The aluminum propellers will be better for boating in shallow water. If you hit something with an aluminum propeller, chances are the propeller will loose a blade before any damage can be done to the to engine. The stainless steel propellers would be better for deep water boating. If you were to hit an object in shallow water with a stainless steel propeller, damage may occur to the engine. If a propeller ever does become damaged, have it replaced immediately. Running with a prop that is out of balance could damage your motor.
