      Hello,

      I have a 25hp 1969 Johnson (25R69D) that I believe has a spun prop. Is it worth trying to have the prop repaired or would I be better off replacing the prop? If replacement is the better option, does anyone have any recommendations for a replacement? Would it be wise to stick with a factory prop or is an aftermarket part the better option?

      Thanks in advance for the help!

        Spun hub can be replaced if you wish.

        I would consider the overall condition of the item in deciding a hub pressed in.

        If the prop is well worn and worn well original………consider a replacement.

        A new prop makes the boat so much better!!!!!!

        Should be easy to get a new one.

        If you are happy with the original dia x pitch do not change the replacement prop for something with different measurements.

        Cheers

          Thanks for the info collectorinspector. I think that will go ahead just buy a new prop. These are the two props that I was looking at that have the same dia x pitch as my current prop:

          Michigan Match

          EVINRUDE/JOHNSON
          http://www.ebay.com/itm/161990112208?_t … EBIDX%3AIT

          Are there any disadvantages or advantages to buying an aftermarket prop like the Michigan Match vs a factory prop? I guess my main concern is quality.
