Hi greg.
The size of the props shaft I got are 320mm long by 4mm wide.
The rudders: Well that is a question i dont think anyone can answer
that id say it is up to the builder,im going to make the rudders for
my model im going to keep them the same depth so the bottem of
the rudders is on the center line of the middel prop and the top will
follow the slope of the hull only the rudders will be a littel bit longer
but not much.

Diameter of the actual propellors is 30mm, (I think). As to the size of the rudders, no ideas just yet.

Thanks guys, will be in touch

I've checked the specs, and the props scale down to 23.5mm dia (from 4.7m)

Three bladed, "D" type looks best (from the floataboat cattldog) (probably the finer pitch more realistic).

Rotation direction is Left (counterclockwise when viewed from stern) for port and centre props, and Right (clockwise when viewed from stern) for starboard prop.

Now, where can we get em!!??
