TOPIC: 1968 Mercury 500 SS Prop...

Ok so I decided since I got my other 500 Running I should throw it on the boat and see how it performs... I usually run a 13 pitch 3 blade prop on my 1970 500 and it works great. So I put the 68 on the boat and took it to the lake, Engine runs great shifts smooth etc. but the prop is a beat up 2 blade 11 pitch prop and the rubber hub will let go and spin if you rev up the engine too high... 4000 RPM.
So my question is... Where can I find a 13 pitch 3 blade prop for an 11 spline shaft? through prop exhaust. I have looked on most of the websites and around the internet, Ebay etc. all I can find is 10, 13, 14, and 15 spline props not a single 11... Any help would be great.

Stashm2,

Have you seen this site? www.a1discountprop.com/antmercury.htm

I see a 13" pitch, 2 blade prop there for your motor, but not a three blade.

I had not found that one but Their a weee bit pricey for an old engine.. I would like to not spend more than the engine is worth.. but I will keep it in mind. Thanks
