Popeller nuts

[speedbird1]

Hi, from a newbie.

I have recently purchased a 2009 SO45DS. This boat was fitted with a Gori prop by the previous owner.
I have no problems with this!
He kindly left me the original 3 bladed prop as a spare. Unfortunately he did not leave the nut to hold this prop onto the shaft should it be needed. I have been dutifully carting this spare prop round with me (the boat is in Spain) for some time with no means of being able to use it.

I have been quoted a price of £150.00 for the nut and anode.
This seems OTT for a "get me home" nut should I ever have to fit the spare prop for any reason.
Does anyone know the size of nut (the material - steel or brass - doesn't matter as it will only be used in an emergency) to fit the shaft and/or where I can get my hands on one.

The engine is a Yanmar 75hp.

Many thanks

Hello and welcome here! I am pretty new too! 

It seems very expensive. Is it a gold plated version? What is the diameter of the shaft? As that is the only important information needed really. Once I know this, I will have a look for you here on Mallorca (Spain). But I assume 35mm, that would be only like 40 euros for the nut and anode. The little "brake" plate, to secure the nut is 6 euros.

The factory normally fit ELICHE RADICE props. You can get spare nuts and anodes etc in the UK from Sillette Sonic (who I am sure would post. You will need at least the shaft diameter - there will also be a spec stamped on the boss somewhere
Useful datasheet for these props at: www.sillette.co.uk/price_pdf_files/eliche_radice_propellers.pdf
