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.

Do yourself a favor and take it to a prop shop and ask if they can fix it..
West Marine clerks can run the gamut from being very knowledgeable about a
lot of stuff to knowing nada about anything.

Yep. Then have it repaired and carry it as a spare.
