Anyone know where to purchase a replacement fan for this Franklin Electric Motor dock/water circulator? White plastic fan blade needs replacement. Thank you.

I believe E M Heath TrueValue Hardware in Center Harbor sells replacement props that look very similar to yours.
You can also order replacement props from this company. 2 white props for a 1/2hp are $27 http://aeratordeicer.com/TaylorDeicer.shtml |

I have two similiar circulators with props that secure differently.
One prop mounts to the shaft with a screw through the center of the prop. If this is the case, Winnipesaukee Marine in Gilford sells them. I would also purchase a stainless steel screw. It will make removing it next time much easier. The other has a set screw on the side of the prop. Watermark has this type. In any event, remove the prop and take it with you. Good luck. |

Watermark has plastic and metal props that both attach to the shaft secured by a set screw. I have bought and tried both of them. The plastic seems to break in a couple of years and the metal seems to corrode in a few years. I just bought a new metal one this year and it was $49. That seems expensive for such a small item but there aren't a lot of places to comparison shop for them.

Heaths had one propeller. Too big. CH Dock and Pier had the right size blade but wrong inside diameter and secured with a set screw. The one in picture is secured to a Franklin electric motor with a cotter pin (two holes). |

That clamp on the motor looks like it's having a rust/corrosion problem...maybe due to electrolysis...stray electricity.... NB

Fred Cain in Wolfeboro sells them too. I have the exact same motor and prop setup. The motor is a simple well pump motor with a splined shaft. The prop has a small set screw to hold the prop in place.
Mine were getting all rusted out so I just built a few made out of PVC piping. Going to see if it works out this winter. Heck. I thought it was worth a shot before having to weld more up. ![]() |

Lakesrider: Did you fill it with sand to keep it on the bottom. I'm just wondering if it will float.
![]() I've seen tandem axle Aluminum boat trailers actually float without the weight of the boat on it, due to the buoyancy of the tires. NB |

As the pictures above show it appears that most of these are hand made with a purchased motor.
The only blade I found that could possibly fit was a standard size blade but I had to modify my motor for it to fit correctly. All works fine now. Most dock/marine supply stores have blades. Getting one to fit yours may or may not be easy. I have not seen a metal one. Others can chime in. I guess just travel from place to place seeking the blade you want. Get to the right retailer and they may have catalogs and order what you have. |
