I need a Volvo Penta 814633 short shaft 14x19RH prop for my 270 outdrive. When checking for the best price on Google, a company called Propco came up, which costs significantly less than Volvo Penta or Michigan Wheel. Anyone have any positive or negative advice before I buy a replacement prop?

I've used quite a few...over-all good props.<br />I can't really think of anything bad to say.<br />They've been around a long time, in fact they used to make alot of Merc's aluminum props, which they may still make some of them, I'm not sure.

I used Propco (price was right) and received a very poorly rebuilt prop. One blade did not have the same rake as the other two and that same blade was about 3/16 inch shorter than the other two. The lesson in my case was you get what you pay for.

Propco does not sell rebuilt props...I'm a dealer for them and I've never had one, or sold one that wasn't in near perfect condition....better than most std. aftermarket props.
