1970 Chrysler 9.6 prop

[parttimefisher]

I am new on to asking help,but am in a delima! I have purchased a 1970 9.6hp Chrysler Sea King tiller.There seems to be a hugh problem finding a propeller for it.It has a 2 blade on it and I was searching for a 3 blade or just a spare.The ingraveing on the prop is 8 1/4D x 8 1/4P.Every site I go to goes from 9.2 to 9.9 .I am guessing there were few of these made.I know it is Montgomery Ward,passed to Force,but they don't advertise for this engine on propeller manufacturers I can find.Anyway HELP............Please

Props for a 9.9 will fit it. This series engine was made in that size prop shaft from 9.2 to 15 horsepower, outsourced to a number of sellers under different brand names. In some cases, the exact same engine was branded with a different horsepower for whatever reason. The 6 and 8 HP had a smaller prop shaft diameter and while they look the same, props for them will not fit. But the basic layout was used on Chrysler and Force engines.
