[QUOTE="Crazyboat, post: 437337, member: 21552"] Adding a SS prop to a small outboard doesn't make much sense as has been pointed out, with the exception of being able to hit things with them. I'm not telling anyone to go out hunting for submerged tree stumps but a SS with take the hit, where an aluminum will dent, ding or bend. Hubs don't break all the easy and neither do lower units. In my years of running boats (well over 40 now) I've hit a few things, never blew a hub or lower unit, killed an alum. prop twice, polished a SS one many times, but never a dent. Smaller applications still I'd say go with aluminum. [/QUOTE]
