1964 Chrysler Sea King 50 HP Prop

[Unit83]

I recently received a boat from my grandfather, and have been having trouble finding a replacement prop or even just a new hub. Is there an aftermarket hub/prop that would work, or a place that may have a replacement for it. Im pretty sure its a Chrysler. Its a 50 HP Sea King from Montgomery Ward, and the year (Im pretty sure) is 1964. Any help is greatly appreciated.

You might try Sea-Way Marine. They usually carry a large supply of vintage parts and they are good to work with. If they don't stock then they will get on the phone until they find someone who does. http://www.sea-way.com/consumers.htm

If your motor is 64 it is a West Bend. VWB19088.My info indicates 45hp.
If it truly is a 50 perhaps it is a Chrysler built from 66 or so.
West Bend was purchased by Chrysler circa 65.My after market service manual lists Chrysler begining with 66.Its a safe bet that if a West Bend that it is similar to the early Chryslers.
