Sail Exchange seem to have some in Delrin which could suit? Need to check load ratings.

Assume you have considered just reverse engineering them and machining some up from Nylatron or Delrin or Acetal etc? Dotmar are excellent - Canning Vale would be able to do them but cost could be unpalatable........

US company doing them - as an example would obviously be cost prohibitive.........

Assume you are talking about a shaft drive diesel installation. Seems like the Triton 24 standard configuration was an outboard in a well, with diesels done as special orders. As such suggest you get a suitably experienced company to assist in the correct propeller selection to fit the existing shaft - need more detail - the axial length of that 19-25 taper as well as keyway sizing and end thread / castellated securing nut. What happened to the original propeller? Are you looking for a new folding or feathering prop or just a conventional 3 bladed fixed pitch type? You also need the diesel rev range and gearbox ratio to sort pitch and blade area given a diameter limit, and the "hand" of the prop to make sure the geometry is correct for thrusting forward when in fwd gear. Assume you have checked good articles on all that is involved - eg here www.pbo.co.uk/gear/choose-right-boat-propeller-62058 Over your way ThePropellerSpecialists look like they would be able to assist thepropellerspecialist.com.au/ On the east coast DH Porter and others would sort it.

Jolene (forum member over your way) would be able to advise any other suitable companies.

Good prior post here which you have probably seen - it is for a 54fter going from Port Hacking to Batemans Bay - with obviously excellent inputs from many who have done the trip including Ramona with this link - bluepeteraustralia.wordpress.com/wp-content/uploads/2012/12/passageplanner2011.pdf?utm_source=www.seabreeze.com.au who could respond to your post www.seabreeze.com.au/forums/Sailing/General/Looking-for-some-advise-regarding-taking-my-boat-from-Sydney-to-Batemans-Bay?page=1
Don't want to state the very obvious but Port Hacking is notoriously shallow and the south point bombora can be fierce. Wollongong Harbour - albeit tiny in size - would be another stop-off if needed.
What size yacht do you have. Log into Marine Rescue.

You might be thinking of Prop One - head office Matraville. I've never used it.
prop-one.com/
This link is a lot of comment from UK. It mentions Prop One as well as Velox in competition to PropSpeed. Velox not available in UK due to new rules - only available now in Aust it seems.

Velox is here - Morisset stockists - the whole website seems averse to phone numbers don't know why.

Many links indicate that preparation is critical for all 3 of these products as regards the end result.
