It produces 120HP. The SKEG is the fin at the bottom of the lower unit (under the prop), that looks like a fin on an upside down shark.<br />As for the prop dia/pitch, I have no clue, but maybee someone else does.

i hope this helps you out a little bit. this is to help you figure out the pitch you need. find out what type of rpms the moter should run at wide open throttle, this moter i am not sure of. then run your boat with what you feel you avg or above avg wheight in boat amount of people etc. the moter should be at the top of this range for instance if a moter range is 4200 to 4600 most people like to stay closer to the top rpm range incase the load the boat down with more fuel, cooler, or people. know if you have a prop and you figure out the rpms you can figure that each pitch up you go you loose around 150 rpms and each pitch down you go you gain 150 rpms. it is important to stay in you range of rpm. not to be way over or way below. if you are below it puts to much load on the moter which can cause detenation or other problems. i hope this was of some use
