Anyone know standard prop pitch for Yamaha E15CMHS?

[johnonalthea]

I own a Yamaha E15CMHS outboard motor that I use to push a Caribe C10 Light through salt water. The prop is slipping and I need a new one (anyone know of a fix? Any hints on how to keep it from happening again? This is the second time its happened).

The boat is in Puerto Rico and I'm visiting the folks for the holidays so I don't have the old prop with me. The factory prop seemed fine, but I can't seem to find its pitch anywhere online and I would really like to fly back with a replacement.

Any info would be a big help. Thanks!

Is this a 1994 motor? Are you sure you have the model number listed correctly? Do you have anyone in PR who can look at the prop and tell you the numbers on it?

Have you looked into having the prop rebuilt? It is amazing what a good prop shop can do. If you want to go new and cannot find the numbers on the prop, a good shop should be able to tell you the size, pitch, rake, etc. From what little I know about propping, It seems that the chances of you guessing and finding a prop is pretty remote.
