Hey guys im new here so i hope i done this right i just bought a bayliner with a 1989 85hp force engine i was installing a new water pump when i removed the prop i noticed where something has been rubbing the prop where it connects to the foot. after further inspection it doesent seem to have hurt the foot just worn a groove in prop if im correct there should be a washer between the prop and foot ive been on web for two days trying to find one all marinas say they can no longer get one any help on part number or site where i can get one would be much appreciated.

Oh, NONSENSE! Force engines can use some Mercury props and MOST Mercury thrust washers. Go to the local Merc dealer and buy a thrust washer for a Merc engine somewhere around 1990-1998 90 to 125 HP. ask for one that will fit a 15 spline prop shaft, 13 inch diameter prop.
