Propeller question

[Mfribley]

While out with the wife last night we hit a sandbar (more like a gravel bar) the water went from deep to 2 feet and my propeller is pretty damaged I have been looking all night online and trying to figure what the pitch was with no luck so I am hoping I can get some help here

It is a 1972 Johnson 125HP

I pulled the propeller off and the only thing I can find on it is Michigan

Which I am guessing is a Michigan Wheel propeller however there is no pitch info the part number on the propeller is 8509 and naturally I cannot find that number on their website I don't want to spend an arm and a leg on a new propeller and hoping someone can point me in the right direction

Have that one fixed, it's normally cheaper.

The prop shop where you get this one fixed can most likely sell you a new one. That way you will have a spare for next time. There is always a next time.

Define "an arm and a leg". A basic BRP propeller was C$220 delivered when I got one a few weeks ago.

Hoping to find a used one for around $100 I am pretty sure the propeller is beyond repair

Been a while, but I think if you call Michigan Wheel customer service in Grand Rapids, they might be able to help you out. They might have a rebuilt one for you.

[Edit. 14X11 for $145, if that gives you a benchmark: http://www.iboats.com/Gearcase/dm/cart_id.896632112--session_id.494510430--view_id.1533510 ]

Hey -- there you go. Call first. These days, may no longer deal directly (but think they do).
