1968 johnson 6 horse prop

[BUDSMITH]

Hey all,

I am using this old motor as a kicker on my Tyee. It has 2 blade prop (8x71/4), it does not push boat well at all. I need a 3 blade as I think this will work better.
Does anyone know what prop I should look for? Or does anyone have one to sell? Please help------------------Bud

"This motor uses a 3 blade prop in 8 1/2" X 5 size & has a 9/16" prop shaft hole. There are 2 blade and 3 blade props for these motors with differing numbers but they all seem to work wel"-article by mr LeeRoy Wisner-http://www.sschapterpsa.com/ramblings/OMC_6hp.htm
