I've got an '85 Evinrude 120 VRO. On that particular year (for some unkown reason!!) there was a 150 hp lower unit put on by the manufacturer. I've verified this and, sure enough, props for the 150 lower unit work perfect.
Right now, there's a "Composite" prop on the engine. I have never had a composite before and know absolutely NOTHING about them. This prop is made in sections so that a (as in 1) blade can be taken off if it gets damaged and replaced with another blade. On one hand it's nice because it helps protect the lower unit, but the prop will break quite readily and I don't know where to get replacement parts. This is a four blade power prop and the only markings I can find are"1418A-4". Can anyone fill me in on where this can be replaced?

What size of speed prop should I get for the engine. The power prop is great when I have my kids out skiing, but a speed prop is better for my fishing trips. Should I go with another composite or should I bite the bullet and get S.S. or go the middle line and get an aliminum?
