Default prop -- Call Dave's!

I suggest contacting Dave at Dave's Motor Boat Shoppe in Gilford -- right next to Beans and Greens. He has a neat collection of old outboards from 1 HP and up, but under 20 HP from what I remember him telling us a few weeks ago. If he doesn't have a prop, i'll bet he can find you one. It's one of his hobbies and has been for some time -- he has quite the collection of old outboards.

Default look around older marinas

Try at some of the older outboard dealers such as Parker in Alton Bay.


I had an OLD Johnson is fixed and was looking for parts. Contacted OMC and one place they suggested was Thurstons.

Good LUCK!

I had to have work done on my OMC lower end on my Cobalt and they did excellent work and was done extremly fast, Dropped off on a Sunday, was done on by Wednesday and was waiting at their dock on Friday afternoon for me

Default Old outboards

I had a 1967 Evinrude 10hp on my aluminum boat, I believe my grandfather used Thurstons for parts as well. They dont make them like that anymore, that thing would start on the first pull after sitting all winter when it was 20+ years old. I dont know who we sold it to, but I bet it still runs!!
