Correct Prop - Yamaha 2 Stroke 60hp

Hello. I am new to outboards. Just put a 2 stroke Yamaha 60 on an 18' Xpress XTS. The engine is used and didn't come with a prop and I can't find any definitive answer. I will use this boat mostly for duck hunting. I am lost on choosing the correct pitch any advice would be appreciated.

Here is where my research and what I want has led me:

- Stainless 3 blade
- Solas
- Right hand rotation
- 13.75 diameter with pitch options 13 or 15
- 13.25 diameter with pitch options 17 or 19

Thanks

The Pitch may depend on what you are going to use the boat for. Racing and getting out of the hole fast or pulling a water skier.

But three blades are better then 2 in some cases. And Stainless steel is better than aluminum.

Your local boat dealers set up boats all the time and they may have some information for you as to what type of prop to use on your boat.

Sorry I can't help you more.
