Replacement Propeller Kit for

Replacement Propeller Kit for VP 290A Stern Drive.
Can anyone advise me where I could buy a replacement propeller Kit for my VP AQ151B engine which is fitted with a VP 290A stern drive.
The old propeller is a 14 x 19 L OEM Part No 854147. The drive spline has 17 Teeth.
I have tried Marineengine and Michigan Wheel but niether can supply.
I would be happy to buy a reasonable second hand prop if this was available.
