I have an old bronze prop sitting in the shed. It's a 2-blade Michigan # AJ465 and I'm 99% sure it fits older JohnnyRude's.<br />Unfortunately my oldest Michigan catalog doesn't cover it. It is in mint condition (just washed it before taking the pic) and is considered given away once id'ed as it's of no use to my Merc anyway.<br /><br />I've mailed Michigan but received no answer so far.<br /><br />Can anybody help with some sort of id?<br /><br />

You may be right...<br /><br />I got it with a Evinrude 33hp but never used it as the motor ran ok with the std. alu prop - until it seized and was given away as donor to a friend in need.<br /><br />Thanx.

He-he. Did that on purpose :D <br /><br />Could have used anything but couldn't resist :cool: <br /><br />BTW: May make sense to some of our Swedish/Norwegian or ofcourse other Danish friends here, although local papers hardly contain much important info.

Thanks, all. It would be great to get the specs somehow. Once that is in place I'm sure some vintage racer would appreciate it.

It's been identified as a 10 x 16 by Michigan. Further info on what make(s) and model(s) it fits has been requested.<br /><br />I think Evin/Johnny in the mentioned range is a good guess, but more will follow.
