    18 hp semi-weedless prop looks just like a 10 hp, until you examine it closer.

    Okay, thanks Frank. You have a better eye than me. When I was a kid, I built an 18 from a pile of parts and ran the 10 hp weedless, since I had no clue and it fit. First, the lower unit vibrated loose. Then the power head vibrated loose. THEN i figured it out…..The power head never let go, though. God watches over the ignorant….

    Long live American manufacturing!
