Using a propulse composite on a Alpha 1 outdrive
I bought a propulse composite prop for my alpha 1 outdrive. The
directions were terse and the kit did not come with a thrust washer, nor did the directions mention what thrust washer to use with their product. When I use the stock mercruiser thrust washer, the aft end of the prop stick out over the prop shaft splines. Without a thrust washer, the unit fits over the splines perfectly. I'm not looking for a debate over the general merits of pitfalls in my choice of props material, I was just wondering if anyone out there has put a propulse prop on an Alpha 1 outdrive. If so in addition to their overall opinion of the prop, I was looking to figure out what type of thrust washer, if any is required. Additionally I am curious why propulse only fits Alpha/Brovos newer than 1986. The english portion of the propulse website is hosed. I've emailed but have not gotten a response. Any help would be appreciated. Bob Dimond |

I don't have this particular prop, but my composite Piranha prop does not
require a thrust washer. The hub has one built in. Maybe yours is the same???? "Bob D." wrote in message ... I bought a propulse composite prop for my alpha 1 outdrive.
