[QUOTE="mean16, post: 149344, member: 3656"] i just got this motor and don't know anything about it other than it runs good. i guess after a few years on the shallow rivers around here it needs a new prop because this one is very worn. it has a 2 blade but i'd like to have a 3 blade but i don't know where to start. my first question is... what pitch? i called a few local marinas and was told a 9x8 but honestly i don't know what that means. i haven't had it on the 1664 flat bottom yet (going saturday) but it done good on the 1432 river jon last weekend. it wouldn't back up very fast at all but i figured the worn prop was to blame for that. how do you tell what year it is? only info i can find on the net says 7.5 was in 1976.
