Welcome aboard Brian. Do you have the old hardware? The struts and rudders might have numbers stamped on them that a prop shop can use to order new ones. Are the old ones bad enough that they need replacement or can they be repaired? It's best to replace shafts but rudders and struts can usually be fixed unless it was a really bad impact. A good prop shop that's been around for a long time might also have the specs for your model. One of the members here with the same model may also have that info, hopefully they'll chime in.

Keep us posted

And if you do find any of the specs on the originals, or what you used for a replacement, be sure to post them up here as a future member might need that info!

On my '92 3307 Aft Cabin, my rudders and struts have numbers cast into them, which are visible after a bit of wire brushing. The props will usually have the diameter and pitch stamped onto the hub and perhaps a maker's ID, or possibly the last prop shop's name. But any prop shop could supply a replacement. A new shaft can be made up to match.
