Prop needed

[Jmugglin]

I need an aluminum 3 blade prop for my 1987 SeaRay, 4.3 4v 205hp, OMC. I ordered one from an iboats recommendation and the thrust washer wouldn't fit all the way down the shaft. They put me in contact with Solas and after 10 calls, they didn't know the problem. Back to iboats and they overnighted me another prop. Same problem with the thrust washer. What are they doing wrong that the thrust washer they send with the new hub won't fit down the shaft, and my existing thrust washer is too big to fit in the props they're sending.

Hi Jmugglin, I will make sure someone from my team helps get to the bottom of this. I will have them contact you via email.

Thanks for the heads up jbcurt00

Interesting, I had thought SR boats of that vintage only came with OBs or MerCruisers.

Hi Jmugglin, I checked with the team here and they said they had reached out to both Quicksilver and Solas and couldn't get to the bottom of what was going on. Would you possibly be able to share some pictures here? I'm sure our community here might be able to figure this one out for you

1987 should be a Cobra drive and they came with 2 different propshafts...a 1-3/16 and 1-1/4.
