" I would like to replace the prop on my 1985 2hp Evinrude and keep the current, beat up one as a spare. I need some help in finding suitable replacements.
From some searching, it appears the correct replacement might be an OMC 125990 (3-blade plastic 7 1/2 X 4). Is this correct?
Since I'm using this motor on a fairly light weight canoe, I was wondering if I could move up in pitch to get some more top end. These look like possibilities: OMC 115208 (3-blade plastic 7 1/2 X 4 1/2), OMC 115299 (3-blade aluminum 7 1/4 X 5) or maybe even OMC 318487 (3-blade plastic 7 1/2 X 6).
How do I know if these would even fit the shaft of my motor? The prop that's on there seems to have a circular rubber insert that mates to a plastic piece on the prop shaft. Would this rubber piece come with replacement props or would I remove it from my old one and fit it into the new prop?
Thanks for your help,
