Is this prop ok for 75hp Starflite?

[blk98gt]

I have an Evinrude 75hp Starflite V4 4500rpm motor on a 15 ft open bow boat (6 person tag). The propeller I am looking at buying is labeled pj75 10-1/2" diameter & 10 pitch. Will that work?

Please read the stickies at the top of the page.First thing we need is specifics on the motor.At least the year.
Without some base line info,present prop size,max rpm and speed its difficult to select a prop.You shouldn't make any prop selections without
a tach and speedo or gps.
The typical early Starflites came with a 101/4" X 10" with options up to a 12" pitch.

1961 Evinrude 75hp Starflite V4 4500rpm motor on a 15 ft open bow boat. (No through exhaust)
Sorry I don't know how I missed the year.
Thanks. It just seemed like a low pitch.

The motors rpm range is 4,000 to 5,000.Best to prop close to the max rpm.
If prop turns out to be too light just throttle back a little.
