Help me ID this Michigan wheel...

[SSSuper83]

I have a stainless Mich prop that came off my Mercruiser Type 1. It didnt fit right..the hub was too long and was forcing the back of the prop into the bearing carrier. Any idea what it fits? The part number is SSM-249-C, 14x19 pitch. Thanks!

Anyone?? Hoping to find out what this fits so I can be correct in selling it.

Maybe it just needs a thrust washer?

Re: Help me ID this Michigan wheel...

well..the PO installed it with the regular type shouldered thrust washer. It ate through the washer and started eating into the bearing retainer behind the prop. I found a brass and stainless thrust washer that matches it perfectly in the glove box....but it makes the prop sit too far out on the spline shaft which makes the nut installation impossible. It doesnt make sense...the splines match up great and if I can find a way to make it work I want to keep it. Maybe I am missing the right thrust washer?
