Default Is there any dual thrust props for larger outboards other than kickers?

The idea came up to me while I was catfishing with a friend in his boat and we often drive the bow up on the bank a bit when setting lines then it can be kinda tough backing it back off without having to rock the boat because of the ss prop the F60 currently has has lousy backing up thrust. So I was just wondering if such a prop even exists? Equal thrust forward and backwards on a higher hp motor? Speed is not a factor anyway as we catfish on a small river that has tons of trees and shallow so never go over 8mph anyway and do hit quite a bit of trees so a ss prop is a must. I know a jet outboard would be ideal on this river but we only fish it every once in a while and all other times are walleye fishing bigger waters

for your F60, looks like the only one available is a 12-1/4 x 9" pitch aluminum dual-thrust prop, that they also use on the T25 motor. http://www.yamaha-motor.com/outboard...%20T25~F60.pdf

if you had the high-thrust T60 motor, which has a bigger gearcase, then they offer a 14" x 11"P dual-thrust prop. http://www.yamaha-motor.com/outboard...20T50~F115.pdf

However, neither one is stainless.
