Composite spare prop for 250hp ProXS V8
While I've been fortunate enough to have never had an on the water propeller issue, I am considering keeping a composite prop on board in case I sling a blade or other... I don't want the additional weight of another SS prop. Has anyone found a composite prop to use in emergency situations?

I'd just be carrying an aluminum prop if I needed to carry a spare.

I tried a composite prop for my 225 Yamaha 225 efi and I tore a blade off under acceleration and the same thing happened with the replacement prop. This was in 2005 so I don't know if they have been improved since then.

Having used both composite and aluminum props (extensively), I would opt for an aluminum prop. 1 Pitch point higher than what you normally run would get you through the day/weekend.
