Here is one source in the US that should have everything you need.
http://www.deepblueyachtsupply.com/
I believe they do international sales.
Here is an excellent book on propellers:
http://www.amazon.com/Propeller-Handbook-Installing-Understanding-Propellers/dp/0071381767
There are other sources I'm sure, these just happen to be some that I am familiar with.
Boat salvage yards can be a great source as well, and much cheaper.
