I recently purchased a 2013 tritoon that has a 2013 Yamaha 115 on it. It has a white prop on it and I can find no ID marks on it anywhere. How do I identify this prop so far as size and pitch? I am running 6100 rpm and getting about 25 mph out of it with double bimini up. I am thinking if I reprop and get the rpm down to maybe 5800 I could pick up a few mph?

have you pulled the prop off and inspected it closely on all parts for numbers and letters?

No, I have not pulled the prop off. All my other props had info stamped on outside of prop. Then again I never had a white prop before either

Every prop colored white I've come across is painted aluminum. If the prop came with your engine, it's possible the previous owner had the prop reconditioned prior to selling, which is common and inexpensive for aluminum props. This includes painting. Unless the D x P is etched deep then it's possible it was painted over. I would definitely remove the prop to inspect inside hub and a close look at outer hub.

Oh, this guy did not have it reconditioned. I don't think he even ever washed the boat! Prop is off, and there are no markings anywhere I can find
