Look on the Robbe site on the internet, they have a section under boats which will let you order new props. Just type in "Robbe" in google and you should find it.

its part number 1470 you need and most boat sales places carry them in stock including ourselves they wont break the bank in fact three wont even make a note transaction? a little tip is to always check after a minute or two run when on first run as things do work/come looser shall we say and a dab of superglue or loc nut type stuff will help? It doesnt stop you hitting a small something in the water though which will help to knock them off

I've used both plastic and brass props on my multi-shaft Fairmile and I've always put a few dabs of Tamiya 'blue goop' thread lock compound on the threads and not lost a prop yet.  The Tamiya stuff also doesn't react adversely with plastics of any type and will allow the threads to be undone if you need to change things around (as I have done, now for the 4th time!)

Just saw the same thing happen to a guy at our club last night!!

He wondered why he had suddenly lost power, brought the boat in and found that 2 props had gone.
Funny thing was that he had just tightened one of the props up because it was a little slack............................any guesses as to which one?!!
