Nope. You might have to buy a new prop. Check out the Propfinder here on iboats. They have the Michigan Wheel prop in that size.<br /><br />You might also check one of the outboard junkyards, like tcoutboard.com. They'll have tons of them, for a bit less money.<br /><br />eBay's another bet. <br /><br />Is this a 10hp?

Yes it is a old 10hp. If I have to buy a new prop what pitch do I go with as far as I know it is a 81/4 by 81/2 pitch If I would go with a 81/4 by 9 pitch would I have more top end speed? That is what I feel this old moter is lacking top end compaired to other 9.9 hp. Thamk you so much for the help

Re: 1962 evinrude prop. HELP

I can't really answer your question, to tell the truth. It all depends on the boat, the rpms your outboard turns at wide open throttle, the way you have it mounted on the boat, and other factors.<br /><br />1/2" change in pitch won't make a huge amount of difference, frankly. You might not even notice a change.<br /><br />If you can find a few props, used, you might be able to experiment to find the best solution for you and your boat. To do any real prop stuff, you'd need a tachometer.

Re: 1962 evinrude prop. HELP

just FYI, I had talked to my regular "prop repair guy" about getting a spare prop for my 25 hp (also not splined, pin drive).... he said if buying used, be careful it's not spun.. he said he doesn't re-hub or repair the hub on those type anymore because so often the repair doesn't hold well. (not like the newer rubber hubbed type)... Maybe a 10 hp would be less likely to re-spin a hub ???
