I am trying to decide if this is a purchase I need to make prior to heading up in a few weeks.

Always have a spare in the boat while in Canada and hope to never use it. I have encountered a few boats 20 miles out that could only idle due to prop damage.

Yes I carry one and yes I've had to change one. Lakes are full of non-marked hazards.

Yes. I can hardly lift my tool tote with the spare stuff for my boat motor and trailer parts. Never had to change out a prop or fix a trailer bearing but it seems like I had to dig in the tool tote for something every year. I won't go up there without the spare stuff.

Like American Express...I don't leave home without one. It may be an aluminum spare, but it beats waving at passing boats and screaming...

My spare prop is on the Yamaha 8 hp, so far, so good. The best insurance when on unfamiliar water is to always check the map and GPS chart before starting the motor. Every time.
