omc silver streak/ srx propeller thrust washer ?

[phillnjack]

Hello folks
has anyone got a picture of what a thrust washer for a omc silverstreal/srx prop.
i have a 13.3/4 x 23 omc prop with the numbers 388884 stamped on the hub.
Its 13 spline over hub stainless steel.
Ive looking around and noticed people asking for one of these thrust washers etc, can someone explain why the normal thrust washer for the omc props dont work on this, the rubber hub at the back looks pretty much the same to me ,but then i aint realy been into fast props till i joined this forum.

Ive measured the internal diamer of the hub and its identical to my alloy props and my sst.
the outside of the hub is also identical to the outside of the inner hub on the alloy props where the exhaust goes through.
what exactly is it that i need ?

this prop will be going on a 1995 56ci 3 cylinder evinrude, and a 1977 v4 johnson 140hp

any info on this would be very nice.

The prop came with a unique thrust washer that acts as somewhat of a blowout ring, very rare

[phillnjack]

can you explain a bit more about this please.
My thrust washer fits the hub just like it fits the hub of all my other props.
This special thrust washer you speak of, how is it like a blow out ring ?
is it the size of the gearbox ?
i cant understand what you mean by a blow out ring being at the thrust washer end of the prop .

im not doubting you in any way, would realy like to know more about this

Its hard to explain it looks like your standard washer but at the bottom of it has another piece added to the diameter to fit just inside the gearcase. I had a couple last year but someone onhere bought one and I think Tiger got the other.

[phillnjack]

what did it do then fill the tiny space around the gear case ? if so where does the exhaust go ?
with this prop on my gearbox there is only 1/2 space for exhaust to come out of all around the hub.
Just like the normal thru hubs space maybe even a touch less.
How would this act like a blow out ring ?.

This prop does ride high for sure,as it broke a record on a 90 e-tec in the E900 class at conniston water 53980

he never mentioned anything about a special thrust washer, ill have to ask him what he used.
