1984 22' Outrage
1996 Yamaha 225HP SSII
This motor has a 15x17 Aluminum prop on it now, but it's worn and chipped pretty bad. I'm looking to go stainless. What's the best prop for this setup?

I don't know about "best prop" but a very good and easy to find prop for that boat/motor combination is the 15-1/4"x 19" Mercury MIRAGE
plus.
The motor should be mounted two holes up on the transom.

Would I need a hub converter to make that work?

Like virtually ALL modern large outboard propellers, this one uses a hub kit, if that is what you mean.

It's mounted through the second hole from top. Only one hole exposed above. This correct?

Thanks Joe, looks like I need to lift her up then.
