Best place to buy Penta 270 outdrive prop and Anode kit

First check if prop is repairable, several places in the UK who do this job but probably better if you can get it done locally, no extra P & P charges.
Most mechanical damage to blades is repairable electrolysis/ corrosion is the real killer with nothing solid to weld to.
Worth getting couple of quotes, something that one workshop might suggest is beyond saving is another workshops "No problem."
Also consider second hand if budget is tight.
Prop size should be stamped on the boss somewhere but you might need to scrape off many years of paint.
How long since last change of rubberware, get it all done while boat is out of water.
Princess 25 was my first "proper boat" powered by a Volvo Penta V6 175HP petrol via a single 280 T outdrive.

Just missed out on a Princess 38 that I fell in love with, also a nice Princess 30DS Flybridge has caught my eye, would need to sell our 25 first but always been a sucker for those twin glass sliding doors lol. The previous owner was well clued up and always used a Galvanic Isolator so it does look like mechanical damage, he said there was no vibration so fingers crossed wont be to much of a job for the repair specialist, better get my head stuck in the manual see how hard they are to remove

My P25 was followed with P33, then a temporary lapse of reason via a Broom, before coming back on course and flying right with a P35.

The previous owner is very helpful and has agreed to remove it from the boat and send for repair just need the repair people to confirm if it can be repaired now.
 
Just in case anyone else is following the same path as me, if you want new props Keypart.com have them, think it was mentioned before but part numbers are:
813284 - 14x13 LH Std Propeller
813285 - 14x13 RH Std Propeller

£316.44 each, mine are on their way to Castle Marine for evaluation, fingers crossed it can be repaired but if not at least I can get a new one.
