Hi Rondo, I can't answer your questions 1. & 2. but I am very happy with my flex o fold 3 blades 18x14. This is for yanmar 4JH4. Price is about 2000 EUR tax. incl. each.

Re: broken prop.

Looks broken not electrolysis.
I have Flexofold and am happy with. Gori is supposed to be very good as well.
As to size the best will be to ask Lagoon what do they fit to L450.
