Default Quicksilver is Merc OEM prop?

I was at West Marine today and picked up a Quicksilver prop (it turns
out mine cannot be fixed). The guy at the counter told me that
Quicksilver is the OEM line of props for Merc. It looks very similar
to the original prop except it does say QuickSilver on the side (the
original does not). I decided to stay with the Aluminum prop figuring
that hitting a steal prop could case a lot of damage. I"m thinking the
soft Al prop took most of the impact.
I'm hoping it fits. I didn't buy the hub kit because it looks the same
as the original so I'll try to save $40 and reuse the original.
