Calculating prop pitch!??

Post by Fish'n Technish'n »

Got a buddy who has a Stainless steel prop that will fit my motor. Apparently there are NO markings on it that tell what the pitch is!! Only thing visible is 698099-1
Anyone know the best way to measure the pitch accurately?

I know there must be some simple method but I can't think of it
HELP!

Sorry this is not more helpful, but that is the number of the Prop Washer, not the prop.

Look for another number. I have not found any references to prop measurements giving pitch, other than it is the number of inches the prop will move forward on one revolution.

FYI to get this info I just entered the part number into Google.

Good prop info here

Good Luck
