We have replaced two props on our i/o boat now. One hubby did, one I did recently in Boston Harbor not realizing how low, low tide was near the yacht club we now belong to. Now I know exactly which markers I need to follow no matter what the tide.
Anyhow, new prop for us thru West Marine was about $130 delivered. And we ran with the banged up one for about a month before replacing it, we waited until just before vacation last month in Alton to fix it. I also chewed up the straight peice below the prop (not sure of the name) that acts like a rudder. Hubby just made a form and bondo-ed and filed it.
But yours dosen't even look that bad, so I'd just order a spare and fix up that one where you do live on an island and getting to a store is not easy.
