Keep an eye on Ebay.com

Be careful what 13-1/4" x 17" or 13-7/8" x 17" prop you acquire. There is far more to propeller selection than just diameter and pitch.

Bud don't give up on E-bay keep watching. Last fall I won a 13 spline 13 3/8 x 17 stainless for only $50.00 plus shipping. Did not have to change the clutch, slapped it on and it worked like a charm. Bob
