way577,<br />Not retarded s*it happens. Probably a composite prop and you were a little reckless. Could have been your lower unit that you blew up!!!!<br />You don't say what type of boat the motor is on but this link might help you determine what you need.<br /> http://www.miwheel.com/MIWheel/html/products/outboard/PSearch.asp <br />Good Luck,<br />Mike

That's a good reason to buy a spare prop! Even a used spare or a "Comp Prop" (cabela's has them) in case you have another episode. I carry a comp prop (very lightweight) just in case <br /><br />Bob

19 would be a reasonable pitch for that hull/motor combo. Try and find a dealer with "loaner" props so you can make sure your RPM's are within specs at WOT. And buy two while you're at it!
