I'm looking for a prop for my 1954 jw-10 3hp Johnson. I'm wondering if anyone knows if I can use a prop from a 1959 3hp Johnson, which I think is a jw-13. Thanks for any help!

I will assume it is the weedless lower unit. My charts says 1952, 1955-72 6 1/8 x 6 1/4" OMC part # 203919. or a 6 3/8 x 5 1/2 OMC part # 316651. Being that those numbers are 40 yrs old...

Thanks jimmbo. The year numbers you gave from your chart do not include 1953 & 1954?

They weren't on any of the 3 charts/prop books I checked. Looking in the motor brochures for 53, 54, and 55 showed a 3 blade propeller. in 56 it changed to a 2 blade. But the 55 was shown on the prop charts able to use a 2 blade, so the 2 blades props I listed before might fit on the 53 and 54. I said might. You would need to have one in your hand to compare, fit, clearances, drive/shear pin placement and size.
