    We have a 2003 Carver 564 w/ Volve Penta's 675. Need a new propeller 29x31 ZFP 490 w/ 2.5 no longer available from Carver. Any suggestions?

    Call Michigan Wheel... and read them the stampings on your original props. They may well have been OEM suppliers anyway.

    Any good local prop shop can find you just about any prop...

    Carver doesn’t make props... with the model number, type etc any prop shop will be able to get them

    At the very least Carver should be able to tell you who the manufacturer was...

    Thank-you. I did email Michigan Wheel today as Chris suggested in a previous post, hopefully it won't take too long to get them, we're in the northeast and I hope to get back on the water soon! Thank-you for your help.

    May I ask what happened to your prop ? If it was damaged, a prop shop can also repair it.

    We were going through Woods Whole on the way to Martha's Vineyard and we hit a ledge in the middle of the canal! It went from 20.2' to 5.5' in a second. We tore off the port rudder, bent the shaft and destroyed the port propeller, the left side propeller just got a little dented up. My husband just wants to replace all of it. Even the repair shop said no saving it. They said they have to cut a whole in the bottom to get at the rudder mechanism to replace the rudder. It's a big mess!

    A good shop should be able to match the other port (left side propeller just got a little dented up) wheel.

    No canal in woodshole and no ledge in the deep and well marked channel either. But there is a strong current that can you push out if you don’t pay attention. Plenty of rocks if you stray out...
