So first off let me say I'm a 20 year old college guy, I fix computers as my career. I have limited mechanical experience.
I just bought my first boat! Its just a 12ft aluminum fishing boat, with a 1960 5.5hp Johnson Sea Horse (cd-17). The previous owner sold it to me at a discounted price because the propeller was half broken. I was told that its pretty easy to find a propeller, and generally not that expensive. I've been looking online and I can't seem to find anything that says which particular propeller fits this motor. Another thing... there is a oily mix leaking out of a "pinhole" directly above the prop on the horizontal stabilizer thingy. The oil was somewhat milky so I don't think thats good. I'd appreciate any help!
Also I was wondering where I could get more information explaining all the parts of my new motor. I'd love to know it well enough to make repairs myself. I've heard this website is probably my best resource.
