This rare original OMC prop came with a outboard I picked up recently.

I couldn't find any info on it.

None of my local dealers know anything about it.

It's discontinued, I can't find any more.

I kind of am confused here. You have the pitch and diameter, that's about all the info on a prop you need. It could be an oddball size for that engine and not many were sold which is why it's rare today.

OMC released them for a short while, and only for the 93 15's.

My favorite prop. If this one ever gets damaged, I'll never be able to replace it.

No one makes an aftermarket?

Why would they? Unless it's blades are a special design like a high model. The .5" of pitch is otherwise useless.

The increase in pitch actually lowers your RPM

By what? Compared to a 13" pitch? Unless the blades are a special design like a high thrust. Not worth the time. Probably why it only lived one yr in the parts book. Look how many props are out there with a .5" pitch increment.
