I have a home made 5 hp long tail with a crummy plastic prop. It has a 3/8" shaft with a shear pin setup, held on with a nut. is there a metal long tail smaller diameter prop with this size shaft? |

It wouldn't be my first choice, but its all I got to work with for now. Anyone seen a metal prop similar to this or hell even a source for another plastic prop would do me. i just use this thing to putt from my backyard cooley to the bayou, doesn't get much abuse but does go where a outboard can't at low tide. |

Thanks a lot guys, don't know why I didn't think of the sleeve option before? Thats why I always get a few extra pairs of eyes on a problem, always helps. Might even get lucky and find a prop for a direct fit from that link Thanks |

that appears to be a trolling motor prop. you may be able to get a new plastic one of if you look real hard u may find an alum. one. its going to be an older motor and ide check some marinas for some old stock. back in the day they would have a display with odd alum. props. |

also if you go with the sleve thing ide ask around for a used or worn out prop to try first. ide say about a 10-12 hp worn out prop may work or it would give you an idea. any thing should work better than the plastic one you have. i would imagen it flexes pretty bad under load. |

The plastic prop and shear pin is to protect that tiny shaft. The shaft will not last one good hit otherwise. |

not being a smartass by anymeans but i dont think he will gain high enough speeds to get a "good hit" to mess up his shaft at all. |

 yea this thing sure ain't like my old 15 whaler with a 115 inline 6 merc on it, but the damn thing is so stingy on fuel ya gotta love it. I bet I didn't use 2 cups of fuel this mornin when I went out to check my jug lines (bout a 1.5 mile trip), got me a 8lber, 3lber and a couple 1lbers.

The Boat Yard has a lot of old junked motors that have aluminum props. I bet u could get a prop from there that u could work with. |
