Prop for my 1962 Big M

Post by shelbygt »

Where do I buy a prop? Althouse seems to still be out if commission. It's a 30' with AMC 327. Still in the water and I don't wanna pull it out without having a prop to put on it so I need the right prop pitch, etc.

Thanks! :D

Any local propeller shop should have what you need. 14x10 rh 1" tapered shaft.

I'm in Iowa. Docked on the Mississippi. What does your friend run for a prop?

He runs the same as mine 14x10. You still have the sidedraft carbs on your motor? His has been changed to a 2 barrel at some point.

Mine was converted to 2 barrel also. I do have the side draft manifolds/carbs though.
