Reply To: Johnson 5.5 Prop won’t fit

Thanks. Good to know about the pitch differences. The 7.5 came with a three blade bronze and I just used the one from the 5.5 to do the tank test. However, the 5.5 prop won’t go back on the motor. I agree that the seal isn’t far enough in but I ran the motor all last fall this way. Could the seal have moved on the shaft? It doesn’t leak oil and hasn’t allowed water in. And if somehow it moved, I should be able to push it back. Never had this happen with any motor before.
