pitch, etc of prop

[ky_boater]

I'm looking to replace my prop and i'm trying to figure out which pitch, etc.

I pulled the prop off and here are the #'s & letters on the prop.

48-77350-C1-23

There is also what looks to be an "L" on one part of the prop.

Any help as to what the #'s & letters mean would be appreciated.

Thanks.

It's a 23 pitch Merc prop.

Thanks Dhadley. Any idea what the other #'s say. Also when looking at new props it is mentioning the diameter. Is the diameter listed in the #'s and is the L for Left hand rotation.

Thanks again.

Re: pitch, etc of prop

The closest number (that I found quickly) is a 12 1/2 x 23 Merc aluminum prop. Fits a Merc or Force.

What have you got? How'd it work?

The motor is a force 120. Not sure of the year, I believe it is a 1998.

Thanks.

Re: pitch, etc of prop

one last question on this prop

I found a Mercury black max prop "48 77348 A5" and wondering if that will fit the 1998 force 120. The current prop is labeled "L", and this prop that i'm looking at is "RH". Just wondering if that will work or not w/ one being L and the other RH. I'm assuming the "L" is for left hand rotation.

I doubt the L is for LH, but if it is then a RH will not work unless you want to go backwards in forward.
