I looked all over it two times,i never saw a prop without numbers on it either,i will look again and let you know,prop works fine but thinking about going to stainless,how does stainless help,besides being tougher?

A prop shop can probably size it for you.A stainless prop is more efficient
generally produces less slip.When changing with same pitch generally yields
less rpm but more speed.If your present rpm is on the low end of reccomemded you may want to drop in pitch.
If your in a area that you may strike something you may want to avoid
the stainless as it transfers stress to the drive train.An aluminum prop absorbs
more of the impact.
You shouldn't change props unless you know your present max rpm and speed.Changing without consideration of present performance can ruin your performance and your engine.
