I really don't think you will find a ss prop listed for that motor.
But you should be able to find a Merc thru hub exhaust prop that will fit.

Re: Stainless steel prop.

I've been wondering that same thing, Why is it that none of the supply world seems to show the force any love? One would think than between all the bayliners sold with one and the glaring lack of OEM support, there would be a booming aftermarket... then again, shows what I know...:rolleyes:

Re: Stainless steel prop.

If you want to buy stainless, go to Michigan Propeller on line.Send them an e-mail and they will supply the prop you need.
Stainless is better but it's also less forgiving.You hit something with an aluminum prop it will maybe ruin the prop.Stainless,it hits something you start loosing drive shafts,prop shafts,etc.
Any NEW boat owner is GONNA find the bottom.Usually in the first 2 trips. Thats why they have prop repair places.J

I'm looking a a Mich SS 3 blade, says its for 75-125hp and it's 13 1/8?19 with a 15t spline, is this going to fit a 84' 85hp? It's a 1/8 in bigger and I've never counted them, but don't I have a 13 tooth spline? This is the last of the pre-merc lower ends with the exaust snorkel infront of the prop.

Now if I could find any prop for my 1976 75hp this story would have a happy ending.

Re: Stainless steel prop.

Here's a couple of sites that sell Force props.

These folks are very helpful. Some of their stainless props for the 125HP motors require modification or removal of the circular anode behind the prop if your lower unit has this. They are familiar and will tell if it is necessary. I've dealt with them on several occasions and they have been very helpful.

Here is another site. Never had any dealings with them though.
