Location: Elk River, Minnesota | Depending on your boat, I'd bet you either have a 12-1/4 x 15...possibly an 11-3/4x17. For a good prop that is better than OE, try a solas Alcup 3. I have 2 of them...main and spare for the boat I have for sale on the classifieds here. The alcup will grab water better, and it has a larger exhaust opening through the prop, so your motor actually will gain a couple HP as well. They flex less and are cupped, so they hold the water really well if you move your motor up a hole or two on the transom. And...they are quite a bit less expensive than replacing with an OE prop. you can find them through http://www.propline.com they will also have more information about the alcup, or you can go to http://www.solas.com and look up their aluminum series of propellers.
If your original is a stock prop, look on the outside of the hub between the fins. My original (I believe) is stamped there. Otherwise, if you look at the back end of the hub where the exhaust finally is released into the water, there should be a part number there. If so, then go to the michigal wheel website, and do a cross check. They have a data base that allows you to put in your OE part number for the prop, and it will cross reference it with their prop. http://www.miwheel.com
