What could you replace a rotor with? (Writing help)

In my story a character's boat has the blades break off. What could they realistically replace the propeller with? Keep in mind that the engine still works, and it needs to be something one could find in a small seaside city (think Galveston). The propeller from another boat wouldn't work storywise.

I'm looking for a former Nazi's autobiography that I read the beginning of

It was written later in the man's life, when he was a teacher or professor. I remember it started with some student asking how he lost his leg(s). He told them he lost it/them fighting in WWII. The student called them a hero, but the author couldn't bring himself to tell them which side they were fighting for. The story of their time in the Nazi infantry started with them aboard a train, I don't think I read past that point.

Is it called mincemeat cause it used to be made of meat, or cause meat used to mean food?

Everyone cites both reasons, but it seems like they're mutually exclusive. If the term originates from a time when meat just meant food, then even if the originals were made of animal flesh it would be totally irrelevant.

Prog rock that draws from non European folk?

Western prog rock often draws heavily from European classical folk aesthetics, are there any prog rock bands from other parts of the world that draw from their classical folk traditions instead? I bet Chinese and Indian prog rock bands doing this would sound incredible

I don't see anything in the settings. Even stranger, trailers autoplay on one of my TVs but not on the other. Same account.

If anyone's curious why I would want to activate such an annoying feature: sometimes I'll blindly add random movies that catch my eye to my watchlist, and then I'll watch the trailers for them later and prune the ones I don't want to watch. I wasn't in a trailer watching mood for quite a while and thus built up quite a backlog. I've finally been going through them recently and making good progress, but my watchlist is so long that if I click the trailer, Prime Video will "forget" where I was in my watchlist and put me back at the beginning. This is super annoying, cause it takes a few minutes of scrolling to get back to where I was, which I obviously don't want to do after every trailer. Thankfully, this isn't a problem if you let the trailer autoplay instead. Problem is, the TV with autoplay enabled gets too much glare to watch during the day (I wanted to put curtains on the windows and was vetoed), so I can only do it at night. It would be nice to chip away at the backlog during the day, but that would require me to enable autoplaying trailers on the other TV.
