1977 omc prop help

[Starboardputz]

I bent my prop in shallow water, looking to replace it but I know these old OMC's have a different set up for the prop
1977 omc model #980701
Serial # W 120480
The prop has a pin that holds it in place and just a cotter pin on the hub.
how and where do I find the right prop for this boat? I have looked up model number and cannot find mine.

You have not given us enough information, we don't even know what kind of drive you have or the motor size as that has to do with the drive as well.

Sorry I'm new to this. It is 120 hp omc outdrive with a 4 cylinder looks like a chevy motor. From what ive picked up i think it's a stringer.

I have found some props for it but I need to know the diameter and pitch of the prop.

the boat came with two props one has no marks I can find the other is stamped 14x15. The unmarked one is bigger and I think it was the better one for this boat but not sure of its size.
