Evinrude 55 Prop Question

[mafhuntfish]

Hi All - I just picked up this sweet 55 yesterday - traded a non running 15 hp for it. This 55 was missing all of the head bolts & the wiring was all screwed up. After replacing all the bolts I did a compression check (110 lbs both cyls) The previous owner said it quit on him while in the water and he never messed with it again. After a little troubleshooting - I found an air leak in one of the fuel lines, which I fixed with a hose clamp. Played with the wiring & fired it up within 1 hour. Runs great & pumps water great. It has an 11 3/4 X 17 on it now and it needs replaced. I'm not sure what boat I will use this motor on so that information is not available yet. My question is: what size was the original prop for this motor? Here's a link to a pic of it:

I just found an original brochure online & it states that this motor came with a 12 1/4 X 15 .. Thanks
