Default 1960 Mercury Kiekhaefer 400

Hello Guys
I am in need of a three blade prop for a 1960 Kiekhaefer 400. I dropped mine in the lake and all I can seem to find are two bladed ones. Any help would be greatly appreciated.

Thanks
Tom

looks like yours is oem 48-22575a2 ,michagan wheel 032077 30-50 hp 1955-61 its a 10 pitch and the only one i've seen, the 1962-69 are through hub exhaust and incorrect, most of the oem props were only 2 blade

Actually, you can use a through-hub exhaust prop on your motor. Get one for a 1960s Merc 35 or 50 hp. Not a perfect solution, but they work... Might have to play around with a spacer or thrust washer to make it fit properly, but I have done it in a pinch... It'll get you back on the water until the correct prop comes along...
