Prop question

[Tail_Gunner]

I really am a noob @ this i guess, my delima is i have found a Rapture prop on sale and it seems to fit the bill. However the part number does not match Mitch wheel catalog for my spefic drive. The prop has a 14-3/8 hub size and a 21 pitch however im not sure if it will fit my mercruiser (spline issue?) I am not going to assume that all 14 Inch hubs will have the correct spline or are they that uniform. It would shock me to see that kind of uniformity.......... ............ Umm thats a 3.0 mercruiser with a alpha one drive. It seems to indicate a 150hp suzuki design.. the prop number that is.

Re: Prop question

In the prop finder for sterndrives, punch in your year make and HP, then select the alpha 1 within your years. It will then list the props that will fit your unit.

Re: Prop question

No is the answer to your question, the prop is not even listed in stern drive applications. It is a clearance prop,however even a simple mind (such as mine) would assume that mfg's have standardized a few things. Such as simply finding the right bushing to mesh the outer casing to the spline............. or have they made a mess of it............<br /><br /> ........................

Re: Prop question

Sorry if i was being sarcastic there,it has been a bit frustrating trying to get this done. I've had two props shipped and both would not fit my drive and i'am not going to point fingers ( service has been excellent in resolving issues)......Anyway's its a 1993 mercruiser 3.0 alpha one 2.1 gears<br /><br />I was just trying to get a clearence price in a very decent prop .....and it appears one cannot put a outboard prop on a inboard. I found a great deal on a Ballastic part no.345534 which belongs on a suzki outboard me bad and wont work with a mercrusier stern drive. I was hoping to be able to just find the right hub.........

Re: Prop question

Thanks walleyehed, however i have used the finder which started this whole thing. Found a ballastic prop there for 140.00. However when shipped it was the wrong prop...........right box though I was just attempting to find another prop, found one but made for a suzi. I was just looking for a long shot hoping i could find a hub that would make the prop compataible with my stern drive......just a cheap dude i guess.
