1969 Johnson 55HP Shear Pin Size?

[sstrudell]

I'm looking to pick up a few spare shear pins for my 1969 Johnson Outboard motor (55HP). I don't want to pull off the prop to find out the pin size unless I have to.

Does anyone know what size Shear Pin I will need?

Thanks.

It doesn't have any shear pin. It has a splined shaft. But it is a good idea to pull the prop off once in awhile and clean the shaft and smear a little waterproof grease on it to prevent the prop from corroding onto the shaft. Especially important if it gets used in salt water.
