Well even if it's polished, don't mean it's steel. If it's a gold color then it's bronze, that's kinda what it looks like in the pic???, put a magnet to it, if it's bronze it won't stick!...

Maybe it's stainless, how about the fin, should be the same. If anything is bronze under there, it won't take the horse power. You do have a steel prop right??..

Those fins are old Nicson Fins, (logo on side). They are likely bronze chrome plated. Nicson sold them that way. Don't think they were ever made in any other material in that fin shape. Strut is likely the same. Nicson offered them chrome too as I remember.

I kinda thought they were Nicson's but I don't remember Nicson's strut having a built in water pickup??.. :confused

Either way, that stuff don't look performance orientated to me!.. :stupid

Here's the one on my Daytona, it's kinda hard to see in the dark, it's a tube that sticks through the bottom of the boat on an angle and has a #12 fitting inside the hull!..
