What prop does 1961 evinrude starflite 3 use?

[MuddyWaffles]

Hi, I recently bought a 1961 evinrude starflite but unfortunately it didn't come with a prop. If anyone knows what prop the motor uses that would be a great help to me.
Thanks in advance.

The motor came with a 10" X 11" prop with a 10" or 12" exchange size. 10" for heavier boats or the 12" for lighter boats.
The motor has an unusual 1.15:1 ratio. It is rated at 75 hp at 4500 rpm with a 4000 to 5,000 rpm range.

A company called Propco Propellers still makes props for your motor($83).

Their web site shows the list of props available and grades them for light load, cruise, heavy load.

Marine Engine.com carries the hardware; prop nut and pin, drive pin, to install the prop; but they don't show the prop(s) in stock.

So I guess you can get hardware from them and the prop from Propco.
