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

What? No shear pins?

Well, you could put a bronze prop on any outboard you liked. Not
difficult, merely expensive (or, if you wanted to cast & machine it
yourself, tedious). As for shear pins on an inboard, the coupling will
function just fine as a slightly-more-expensive shear pin.
