Pontoon Boat & Deck Boat Forum

I have a prop question. my prop has a big chunk missing out of one of the blades and the repair shop says it will be about $135. I'm sure I can get a new one cheaper online. problem is I cant read the numbers on it at all. I have a 1989 40hp evinrude on a 20 foot toon. need an idea where to even start with what prop to get?

Have you removed the prop? Mine didn't have any identification numbers anywhere that I could see when the prop was on the motor. Once I removed it, I found a stamped number on the backside.

Is the prop aluminum or SS? If aluminum, $135 would buy you a new prop online. SS will run about $400 or more online. I had my aluminum prop repaired and repitched for $80 at a local prop shop.

You might just have to go to the Evinrude site and see what is recommended for that motor/boat combination.

ok its a 3 blade aluminum prop and I can see where the numbers used to be be they are so worn off. I even tried to remove the paint but still nothing..

You have a 12.5 x 13 is what was on my 50, and you can't buy cheaper than that repair and it will come out new, are you dealing with the prop shop or the mechanic ?

One thing about dealing with the prop shop, you tell them what it's used on and they can fine tune it for your boat.

just took it to my local marine shop. maybe you know of them, It Nobels in Leesburg

Heard of them, I also found I-boats have good prices on new props with no shipping for ground shipping, so you can get a spare cheap
