    The size and model of your boat is important. Can you email me pictures and the boat serial number?

    No you will need a 14 1/4 X 24 three blade stainless steel OMC Raker.

    by the way we don't have salt water only freshen water so i think the steel propeller is heavy and not suitable for freshen water only for sea water they say there is another type of propeller lighter then the steel and same size...any opinion ...?

    you will need a stainless steel propeller, doesn't make any difference whether your boat is in fresh or saltwater. get the Raker
