Finding a prop suggestions

[Nasher]

I've been looking for a while now for an 8x7 3 blade Right hand prop preferably in a 'Stuart fitment' of 5/8 shaft with a taper.

I've not had any luck, and am wondering if anyone can suggest somewhere to try that isn't going to break the bank.
I'm based near Portsmouth so somewhere nearby would be good. -The Chandlery Barge doesn't have one by the way.

Might have to wait and take a chance I'll find something at Beaulieu next year I suppose.

I have machining facilities, so can make an adaptor, or re-machine the prop hub to fit my shaft.

Thanks.

Give Keith a ring at Crowthers, they may have something second hand - http://www.crowthermarine.co.uk/1.html

You are in small outboard motor territory. Something like a 6 hp. If you can machine up the adapter you might have a cheap if temporary ali solution.

Thanks guys, Crowther Marine look interesting and maybe also able to help me with the 5/8 shaft stuffing box that that I haven't been able to get around to machining up yet.

I've been looking at all types of Props in the right size, and am actually watching a couple of Outboard ones on ebay at the moment. They will need some careful setting up to machine the centre out concentrically, but that's what passes for 'fun' on a cold winters evening in my house these days.
