I have a different opinion on SS vs aluminum. I have always run the aluminum prop, the one reason is if you hit something it will give not the gears in the lower unit. Have I hit submerged objects yes. It dinged the aluminum prop and I had it reconditioned over the winter. Aluminum props are also better if you are slipping your boat due to the difference in metals issue with stainless. SS gives you slightly more speed slightly more fuel efficiency, and looks better. I have never blown a hub. I have had new ones pressed in when reconditioning a prop.
