Hey all, I was using Mercurys prop selector tool to try to figure out what diameter prop I should put on my dauntless. I am confused because I have a 2006 Mercury 40hp fourstroke, but it does not have any markings saying "bigfoot" on it. When using the prop selector tool the only option for a 40hp fourstroke built in 2006 is a bigfoot model.

Anyways right now I have a 9 1/2" diameter prop on it and I feel like it is a bit small (considering I am docked next to a classic 13' sport with a 11 or 12" prop on an older 40hp motor) Just would like some feed back on the diameter I should be aiming for? I was guessing around 12" or 13" with a 15 degree pitch or 14" pitch.
