I need to reduce the pitch on my 1971 Johnson 9.5. I am currently running a 8 X 8 but at WOT I am running at 3900 RPM. Specs say I should be at 4000 to 5000, so I'd like to try a lower pitch. It's an old motor so I am in the market for a used prop. It is a 3 blade pin drive. Anyone got a source? I am looking on E-bay periodically.

I think that is the standard prop.What kind of boat and load are you pushing.
How is the compression?Sometimes a simple sea foam decarb can solve compression problems.
