OLD Johnson RDS26 Super Quiet Blew up my prop whats the go to replace? Looks wei

[usedtoberobmurray]

Part IV of my stupid antics in my very old boat.<br /><br />You can check some of my other horror stories here<br /><br /> http://www.iboats.com/cgi-bin/ubb/ultimatebb.cgi?ubb=get_topic;f=17;t=028345 <br /><br />I smashed my last prop on a rock bar and when changing over i noticed on the prop that I used to replace the destroyed one (looks like the original that the guy I bought it off gave to me), that the prop has two grooved running down the inside sleeve, but the rod it slide into does not have any?<br /><br />So currently there is a bit of play in the prop, seems to slide between the two grooves.<br /><br />There are two main holes on the rod that connects to the engine, however no matter what I try, the prop can only go on so the hole on the prop sleeve do NOT line up with the holes on the rod.<br /><br />But I can put a split pin and cap through the other two holes further out towards the end of the rod, but this allows the prop to have that bit of play in it.<br /><br />Is this a problem? I am not taking her out unless this is a bad problem.<br /><br />Any help would be appreciated,<br />Thanks

Sounds like that prop is for a different engine.<br /><br />I wouldn't use it. The wrong prop could damage the gearcase and/or the propshaft.<br /><br />Get the right prop number for your engine. There are always used props for sale on eBay.

Darn those rod, pin, thingies.<br /><br />If the shearpin will not fit up corrctly during assembly than you must find a prop like the old one.

Many thanks but I swear that the prop I put on looks just like the original? Should there be any play in it at all?<br /><br />The prop I put on slides on like a baby when I slide it into the grooves, but it has about 1/2 inch play in it when on. If I try to put it on so the holes on the prop line up with the holes on the shaft, it wont go on at all. Should I force the issue?
