Well I found the serial # and Model #<br />Serial # 1396986<br />Model # RDE 18 E<br />I am told it is a 1956 are they right and any ideas on finding a prop
I ended up finding some in Grand Rapids they have new ones for 75 and used for 25-30 gotta get there to get one. Is that the cheapest I'll be able to find one for and should i Go used
I see no reason not to go for a used prop, BA. I think I would buy 2. One for a spare.<br /><br />Use a 24:1 mix. That is one quart of TCW-3 Outboard oil to 6 gallons of unleaded regular, alcohol-free gasoline.<br /><br />Good luck.
I believe you can convert it to a single hose.<br /><br />Use the search feature on this board with these parameters.<br /><br />1. Search words: "fuel tank conversion".<br /><br />2. Section: Outboards.<br /><br />3. Date: Any<br /><br />There will be plenty to read on the subject.
I've got one of these a '58( mines an 18hp). I found a new stock prop at my local omc dealer. You can also get new double fuel line and orings for the connectors. I too have seen a lot of these tanks on ebay. Good luck.
