I'm sure someone will be along that can decipher your numbers in the mean time It appears to be a 15" pitch.
You can look up props right here. Use your motor brand,year,size and hp You can tell if your prop is stainless or aluminum a magnet is attracted to stainless. Also stainless is quite heavy.

Thanks steelespike. I know that its an aluminum prop and 15p. I am unsure of the other specs, which can hopefully be determined by the number. I tried looking up props, but I found that there are different diameters. Id like to just replace this prop with one that has the same specs.
