Hey, Its a 1976 electric shift stringer 800, 302 ford 175HP, Actually today my dad found a used one, and at the same place they can fix our old one, he pressed in a new hub, so we are good to go for now. Although, I'd still like to know where I can buy new ones.

HI-de-ho neighbour! I've got the same drive package as you too! (1975)
Check out this site: http://www.propcopropellers.com/
I haven't bought from them yet but they carry props for almost all OMC drives.

It might help the search to understand that an electric shift OMC drive with a pin type prop is not an 800 series.

800 series drives were introduced in 1979 and use splined propshafts.

What series is it then, I was always under the understanding that it was a stringer 800.

No series. In 1976, they were still making the original design with electric shift that they began with in 1963, and hadn't invented any other types yet, so no need for series designations. It was simply called the "OMC Sterndrive" and then there was the HP of the drive package on the exhaust housing of some years.

Once they introduced the hydromechanical shift in 79, they made two lower units - a 13 spline propshaft (400 series) and a larger lower unit with a 15 spline shaft (800 series) and therefore needed the designations for the marketing of propellers..

Cool, thanks. Don't know why I thought that it was a 800???? Anyway, put on a used 14x16 today, runs nice, little less cruising speed, but gets outa the hole way faster.
