Johnson Prop in good condition

This is a Johnson /Evinrude prop in good condition, 91/4 inch x 8 inch, fitted to a 9.9 /15hp 2 stroke but will surely fit any engine sharing the same gearbox from 70's to 90's?
One or two chips in...

Btw Fenlander, the Mercury 15 worked pretty well on the Aerotec but due to the virus and limitations it hasn't been used nearly as much as I hoped. it does require a different trim setting when i'm...

Thank you both for the advice, I'll do both and keep my fingers crossed. Ebay seemed to prioritise the buyer in any disputes however contrived they are by the buyer, and also there's the fees, but as...

I've just serviced and sorted my little used, long serving 9.9 Johnson 2 stroke, 1994, but wondered where to advertise it - anyone had any good experiences with particular sites?

I've had some...

Just checking on the Mercury web site it seems a bit lame, no PDF owners manual, very little info on the warranty, hopefully more information in the documentation when I pick it up.

As it's been explained to me, it's only if the service is done by a recognised dealer that the warranty is valid.

So an update on the search, I've taken the plunge with a 15hp efi engine, went for a Mercury but pretty much the same as a Tohatsu in the engine dept. looked a lot bigger than what I have, but will...

Glad to hear they’ve confirmed delivery, I enquired about the scrappage via eBay with ‘another dealer’ and found a maze of confusing conditions, not what it first appeared to be. Maybe better to...

That’s a very nice part of the world. A bit further than I could travel for servicing but good to know. I’ll give the 20hp some thought!

Thanks, as I understand the 15 and 20hp tohatsu Efi are the same weight, so it’s very tempting, but around £300 more - as it’s a bit of a stretch for the 15 I don’t think I can justify the 20 on our...

Thanks for the insight, did the extra weight spoil the trim of the boat? I figured the extra weight to be similar to a full 12l fuel tank, so maybe not too much difference?

The paint on the block of the Mercury looked lumpy like hammerite - I've been looking at a lot of 'under the hood' pictures lately and hadn't seen one like that.
