I call foul on this one... Multiple questions on one post is not allowed... Most 4-Blade merc props are "Bravo-I"s. They come with a "Hub kit". You have to specify which lower unit you have. Yours is "Bravo". It is a standard unit (unless you have gone out and bought another). Some are "Bravo XZ", and Bravo XR". (Not to mention others) The later two have larger diam. prop shafts. This lets merc build one prop, and you put which ever hub kit you need inside it so it fits. And, all the Merc Bravo-I 4-blade props are solid hub so to speak. Some hub kits are forgiving, and some not. ex. plastic insert, or brass. Hope this helps. A four blade should work great on your boat. If you get it with no hub kit, call me. There are several at the shop, and you are welcome to them. Also, make sure you get a right hand rotation prop, or you'll go backwards in foreward.
