I have a 2006 bayliner 197 with a 4.3 mecruiser alpha one. I messed the prop up this weekend when I hit some shallow water. Just the prop is bad the part # on it is mercury 832830a45p19 and I see on the inside 14 5 x 19r. How do I change the prop and what parts do I need to replace other than the prop?
 
It's nice to have a manual but you certainly don't "need " one to change a prop.

A prop is the easiest repair you can make. All you need is a prop wrench (I have the yellow one), grease, something to hold the prop and the new prop. Everything else you take off is reusable.
Here is a youtube that shows it nicely.

Some props are configured differetly at the castle nut but that shouldn't give you any trouble if you replace with the same prop.

Also, depending on what you damaged and the prop material you can often just replace the hub and/or have the prop repaired. It's always nice ti have a spare prop.
