Come on guys,
Someone must know where to go. Im looking for a two and a three blade bronze or stainless prop with about the same specs as a Octura X460 Or a Prather 250 or 255. That is 60mm Diameter and from 3.305 to 3.340 ratio. The problem I'm having is finding something with a 1/4" bore size. Octura and Prather props in the size I need are all .187 bore sizes. I contacted some dude at VooDoo about four days ago and he told me to call him back at between 4:30 and 5:00 pm later that same day. I did as he asked, never got an answer back, called three more times over the next three days while leaving my name & number each time and asking to please return my call. Nothing!

Thanks Guys,

Will

Why don't you just get a bigger prop with a 1/4" shaft, turn it down and have it shaped and sharpened from there?

No one knows where to tell you to go because no one bothers to even make dinky props for 1/4" drives - there is no market. And don't cut down bigger props! A far easier solution is to get a 1/4" cable with a step down on the stub shaft to 3/16". That is what all us FE boaters with 1/4" cable drives do. Simple, and it allows for an almost unlimited number of props to be used.
