Yamaha Two Smoke I love it... I have one too...Grin

Anyway to do you have Tach? Do you know what pitch you have today? Mercury has a prop selector but it is only general guideline.. I believe there are others with a set up close to yours

Bink - Better state the diameter too, just to prevent him buying the wrong prop.

Howdy.

I have a Stainless prop that is 10 1/4 diameter, and 15 degree pitch.....I think. I am at work right now and those are the dimensions that come to mind. I will check on the exact details later when I am home.

I don't know the diameter of mine but I don't think there were choices from the Nissan dealer. I tried a 15 ss and had to repitch to 13 to get the performance I wanted. Most of the folks with 13s powered with 40 hp that I have talked to settled on a 13" pitch for all around use. Bob has a 14" on his but it is aluminum. A 13" ss should satisfy your needs.
