I need a prop

**shadboy** · 02-27-2016, 05:32 PM

Anybody, close to Shelby, have a used prop for a 1981 35hp Evinrude? The rubber hub spun on mine. I've sent it off for repair, but would like to have a spare to use in the meantime. I think any thru hub exhaust for 35hp from 1979 and newer will work. Also the 20hp, 25hp, and 30hp with thru hub exhaust from 1984 and newer. The prop I have is a 15 pitch, but I'd take about any thing. Thanks!

You need to include the diameter and pitch numbers to the guys. The load that the prop puts on the engine is critical to prevent engine over or under engine RPM's. Not so critical if you only use the prop for emergencies and you don't run the engine over half throttle. Over RPM"s, especially, can damage an engine in just a matter of minutes.

You are correct sir! This would be an emergency use prop and I am not concerned about diameter or pitch. Thank you!

I would like to throw in a plug for US Propeller. I mailed my stainless prop to them on 2/29/16 for repair. They put a new hub in it, fixed a nick in one blade and polished the whole prop like a mirror. It was waiting for me on my front porch today (3/5/16). The cost was $74.40 including shipping. I am pleased.
