What prop for 50hp Johnson

[barrykala]

What prop do I need for a 1995 50hp Johnson. Bought a boat that had been setting up for a while, Someone removed the prop and took it home with them. Want to make sure I get it propped out correctly. Thanks

The boat is a 16ft Lowe 160. Just a small fishing boat.

The boat and motor determine prop pitch and diameter based on the factory recommended Max rpm range. Do you have a local prop repair shop that will loan you a couple to try if you leave a deposit and promis to buy the right one from them? Make sure you have an accurate tach, analog works best. The one in the dash is not good. I would start with a ~12x15
