If it's a Merc prop, it'll be stamped along the exhaust hub. As George says, look for numbers like 14X19, or 3X14X19, on the trailing snout, or the exhaust hub.

Unreal new line of Yamaha engines unveiled

The world of bass fishing is about to change forever. Yamaha unveiled their new V MAX SHO 4-stroke outboards 200/225/250 hp. It weighs 505 lbs, which is as light or lighter than anything on the market (not counting outdated carb technology). It also out-accelerates both two and four strokes. Just as fast or faster on the top end. I don't have pricing yet, but all things being considered, it looks like the bar has been raised. It uses a huge 4.2L V-6 block that is pretty compact. There's also a V-6 Offshore line that uses this block and comes in 225/250/300 hp flavors. More info and photos to follow. edited by Alan Jones on 11/19/2009

Most likely it is stamped on the prop hub. Look for something like 14X19. The first number is the prop diameter and the second number is the pitch. You may have to remove the prop nut and washer to find it and possibly the prop if it's on the back side of the hub.

I would like to determine what pitch prop is on my mercury outboard. Is there a certain spot on the prop that would have this info?
