What is your wide open throttle rpm with a normal load? Prop should be pitched to give you approximately max factory listed rpm with your normal load.

If you call a Yamaha dealer they can get you in the ball park. If you buy from them they may let you test a prop to see if it is the correct one.

When I had an old Johnson the dealer assisted me as did the Suzuki dealer when I upgraded. You may have to pay a bit more with the dealer, but to get the right prop is well worth the extra cost!

If you want a guess, I would start with an 18 or 19 pitch. If I wuz a bettin' man (which I'm not - I always lose!), I would bet on either a 19 or a 17. But, as the sticker on the car says, "your results may be different."

Good luck!!
