SS prop for big twin

[fyremanbill]

I have a 64 40hp johnson. I'd like to find a stainless steel prop for it. Can anyone tell me if they are made or at least what the spec on the shaft is. Thanks<br />Bill

The stainless props of the day were made of bronze. I have two of them (a three- and a four-blade) and no they're not for sale. I see them on eBay a lot.

If you're looking for performance, try one of the 2-blade bronze props. Michigan made a few of them in about 15 or 16 inch pitches. On a light hull where speed is the goal, they're the way to go. Also seen on eBay frequently...<br /><br />Plus, they look really cool shined up!<br /><br />A word of caution - the bronze props weigh a good deal more than aluminum counterparts and as such will put a bit more strain on the clutch dog and gears. Shift quickly, firmly and at the lowest possible idle speed...<br />- Scott
