Age this outboard,

[bazrfc]

I just bought this boat and motor for a small upgrade on the fishing boat i had, but the guy didnt know the year of the outboard, its a 40hp and the guy reckoned it was 1998 -2001 true?

the serial number is oc 295570

the only problem i can find is the prop is a little damaged. wheres a good place for find a reasonable priced prop?
thanks

Re: Age this outboard,

1993 should be close. Not sure exactly. Those motors stayed largely the same for a long time. Go up to the Marine Store tab. iboats has the best prop prices you'll find. Yours is probably repairable.

Re: Age this outboard,

how would you go about repairing it,
id rather spend the money on other things.... than buy a new one.

Re: Age this outboard,

the pitch on the origonal prop is a 12, whats the major difference in getting a different pitch.
how does the scale go.
1 to ????
1 = more top speed
25= more acceleration

or is it the other way around,

im looking for a little higher top speed for towing the kids in a tube behind us.
