I wanted to let folks know that we are taking deposits on the Continental taper shaft propeller hubs used for the 65, 75, 80, 85 HP engines Continental Motors PN 3745. If you need one of these, or know someone who needs one, please call to reserve yours. We are collecting deposits and customer infor...

Safety wire is an Interesting fix. Is that an approved repair? what hole is in the wheel for the installation? Sounds like the wrong parts mated. Goodyear dropped the little 'tits' in the early wheels in favor of the later holes with retainer buttons to solve this problem. One can convert to the lat...

I have a bunch of them if this is the case.....

Can anybody explain WHY we would not want to cast them like the original blades? It seems that a machined billet blade would be slightly heavier, and a lot more expensive- even with CNC machine work. It would be maybe a $40 -50 casting with $10 worth of machine work to cast them. If I made them comm...
