What's the size marked on the prop? The diameter will pretty much tell you what it fits.

There's no markings that tell the diameter. just the numbers that I posted. It looks like 14 or 14.5

Oh, I bet it's a thru hub prop too. I remember those darn things....yours is a 14 1/2 x 24 SSTR. Fits a V6 or V8 gearcase. Be careful if you try to run it.

I'm thinking with such a high rate of pitch that your engine may struggle getting up the RPM's, you may also find the boat faster idleing in gear making it more challenging to maneuver around the docks.

Re: I need help indentifying a prop

24" isn't all that much pitch. I could get around docks just fine with the 29 Mazco I ran on the race boat. Those props acted kinda funny on certian boats. I tried on on a Rabco I had once. The boat had no real issues if you stayed under 80 mph. We put one of those on and about 55 or so the boat went nuts. Basically out of control. Put the other prop on - 80 was fine. Put that thru hub cleaver on and same thing. Went crazy.

Just take it easy and be careful. It may be fine on whatever you have. I know it didn't like what I had.
