Im trying to identify my prop. Its on a Evenrude 70 hp (1984) The size is 13 3/8 x 17<br />It also has the number 384139 and the letter "M" <br />with a circle around it. It is stainless steel.<br />Couldnt find the model number on any of the websites. Could the "M" stand for Michigan Wheel?<br />Any help appreciated.

Hi Boatin<br /> What are you trying to ID? I guess I don't understand. The circle with the M is an OMC mark. The part #384139 is an OMC part# for a propeller. Part#384139 supercedes to part#389948. The retail price of one of these babies 10 years ago was $349.95. You have the size and pitch. What else can we do for you?

Thanks Alcan, You answered my question!!<br />I didnt know that was the OMC logo.Thought it might be an offbrand bootleg. It has a lot of small places that need to be beat out. I tried to do a search on prop repair but couldnt seem to get the search to go through. the "nicks" are just on the edge. Know where some good reading is?<br /> Thanks again

If they are just small nicks, take a fine flat file and clean it up. Anything more, take it to a prop shop..

Thanks Rick. The trouble is , there are no prop shops that I know of in Jackson Mississippi. <br />If I ship it somewhere , thats thirty bucks just for UPS plus the shop charges. It looks like some of the edges have been scraped by rocks and a few bended parts but no more than 1/4 " from the edges. I wonder how much damage it takes to throw a prop off. I guess I need to find out.<br />Thanks for the replies. Anyone know any websites on prop repairs?

I wouldn't run your boat with that prop until you get it fixed by a prop shop. You take a chance in tearing up your gearcase. Try Google for a prop shop.
