1962 merc 500 prop questions

[capblack]

i have a 1962 merc 500, and the prop and nut setup spun off on my last trip out. I am wondering if anyone has the info on what prop and nut setup this takes, and where i can find it. it is a 3/4 inch shaft, 11 spline, and theres no hole in the shaft for a cotter key, so im guessing it uses a self locking nut. i would appreciate any info and even some pictures if someone has this engine setup. thanks, Brian

The OEM prop part numbers were 48-33774A1,48-38098A1,48-38094A1 and
48-38090A1. Many mfgs make replacements. See the michiganwheel website. The propnut and locking washer can be ordered as a kit 11-69578T
