I'd use a bronze prop, that way if it strikes something it will
break.

What? No shear pins?

He was not talking about an outboard. How many outboards have you seen
with
bronze props?

You are talking inboards with outboard legs maybe.
I am talking about inboards with shaft drive. If you have one of those shear
pins are never seen. Put one on the prop and you can't get at it afloat.
Put one in the shaft/engine coupling and your prop shaft is likely to
disappear back out of the stern tube if it shears.
