prop question

[douglasdm]

Hi all,

I hit a stump yesterday with my prop.....its bent.

I have a 2011 DF90a. On the barrel of the prop it says 3x13.5x15.

I can find new props listed as fitting my engine but not one with those dimensions, I am assuming they are dimensions.

I see various other combinations like 3X13.875X15, 3x14x15, 3x14x17,3x14x21, etc

My gut says go with the closest thing but I would really like to know what these numbers mean.

Thanks in advance.

And as soon as I made this post, I found an explanation.......

That link will start at the bit about Suzuki props but he goes through various other prop manufacturers sizing conventions.

In my case 3x13.5x15 breaks down like this:
3 blades
13.5 inch diameter
15 is the pitch.

I am posting this in case anyone else comes looking.....
