Re: 6 -8 HP Johnson Gears Stripping Out
There are several props available for the 6/8, including a huge diameter, low pitch prop that might work better for yours.
Still, as JB noted, it remains that you may have something else causing the problem. How is the pinion support bearing? How is the upper bearing, just below the plastic housing? If these bearings are shot then the driveshaft my have a wobble, allowing the pinion to spin out of alignment. How are the forward and reverse gears? Perfect? If they're not perfect, they could be shortening the life of the pinion...
