"1973 6hp Special, made by Chrysler. Need to find a prop for this motor. Pin Drive/2 blade or 3 blade. Already tried Discount Marine. Everyone says Not Available. Anyone have any ideas???"

"Thanks Mike, I'll give them a jingle. It's a shame that props for a 1973 Chrysler 6 hp won't fit a 1973 Sea King 6 hp built by Chrysler. I was told Chrysler used up obsolete warehoused parts to build the sea king motors. Hense, the shortage of parts available."

"Been there, done that, every day. Seems Chrysler used obsolete West Bend parts constructing the 1973 6hp special (VWB27400) line for Sea King sales at Montgomery Wards stores. The origional prop that came on this motor isn't even listed in the Sea King book?? It came with a 7 x 4 3/4 2 blade exterior pin drive. It's "Special" alright!!
Thanks for your input."

But in MHO I don't think Chrysler used obsolete parts."

"Hey just a last thought,My motor is a SEA KING made by Chrysler ... the OEM part number for the prop is P409. (That's out of the Sea King manual)
I sure hope that this helps."
