SS or Aluminum Prop

[foxsealady]

I have a 2007 210 Select with a stainless steel prop. The prop got dinged last weekend and I was thinking of replacing it with an aluminum prop. Someone told me I had to replace my prop with stainless steel only. That's doestn't sound right to me that I can only have a SS prop. What's the verdict guys? Try to come up with enought money for an expensive SS prop or go with "something I can afford" aluminum?

You should be able to use an aluminum prop, but you will notice a decrease in performance. Because stainless is stronger, the blades are much thinner and therefore more efficient. Aluminum is a bit easier on the drive if you hit something.

How bad was the ding? It might be cheaper to repair then to buy an aluminum prop plus you lose performance.

Like Keokie said just get your prop fixed, stick with the SS unless you expect to be hitting rocks...
