HMS hubs, Marine City, Mi. hmshubs.com 810 765-8311. But remember with shipping the hub will cost upwards of 35 bucks so a prop shop may not be a bad idea.

If you have a 6 ton press and an old tapered roller bearing race you can press it in yourself with just a little soapy water for lubricant. The press does not need to be massive or expensive. One of those cheap Harbor Freight ones will do.

After pressing in, let it sit a day or two in the sun to work out the water and let the rubber "grab" the prop. If you use it immediately it may spin again.
