Old propeller problems

[1960hydrodyner]

I have a michigan wheel prop that is no longer made. I have been trying to find any way I can find an aftermarket, or recreation, or anything but I keep coming up with nothing. The michigan wheel number is 0820-37. It is a 14×14 12spline any info or help would be much appreciated

Why don't you contact Michigan Wheel. They were pioneers in the prop business and were THE after market wheel supplier back in the late 1950s when I started boating. They should have helpful information, if not where to buy such.

Most mfg. have gotten away from fixed hub props and gone with interchangeable hubs.

Lots of 14 x 14 props on the market. Just need to find a 12 spline insert to go with it

Any suggestions in a company to start looking for an adapter or a prop that might work. Just a place to start would be helpful

Gee, most prop OEMs have prop calculators. Simply punch boat type, engine and outdrive type and they will suggest one of their props and hubs.

So Michigan Wheel, Solas, Turning Point are good starters. V-P might be one to check out as well.
