2001 Yamaha 150 ox66. Prop says 17M on the side but is in need of replacement when I bought the boat last month. Any idea of diameter, brand, model to replace it with? Pitch is perfect for rpm at WOT. I really don't need anything exotic and would be happy to replace it with what is on there. I don't seem to see any other markings to identify it. Thanks

17M is a the standard marking for a 17 pitch Yamaha prop. To get the diameter, just measure from the very center to the tip of one of the blades and then multiply that by 2.

Someone else will have to tell you whether or not is a standard or Saltwater Series prop as I don't know them that well (I run Merc props on my boat).
