You need to determine what diameter, pitch and number of blades ( looks like three in the pic). Here is a link right from Yamaha for props.( pontoon boat ) https://yamahaoutboards.com/en-us/ho...eller-families There's a picture of how the prop goes on ( so you end up with the correct extra parts) in the link if you scroll down. Personally, I would go with an aluminum spare prop before a plastic one with replaceable parts. You might be able to find a used one at a marina for even less $$ |

Right now the boat does ~23mph, which from what I gather, is about right for a 90hp Yamaha and a 20'pontoon. |

I'm just wondering what replacement prop size to get, as I have no knowledge of this stuff. I may ask the dealer where the boat is. |

There may be numbers stamped into your current prop. Those would likely be the prop size.

It is a 13¼ x 14 stainless steel prop. I'll probably get one of these for a backup. https://acepropeller.com/shop-piranha-boat-propellers/ |

Jeff, I'd recommend the aluminum props, much cheaper to replace or fix when busted up, and yes, you can bust up a SS out there even though bottom is mostly sand.

I have never damaged a prop on a pontoon boat they can take very shallow water. But always best to be prepared.

Agreed but it's the submerged items ( a waterlogged timber just under the surface) that can damage the prop too. |

Non negotiable boating rule regarding fuel
Always start with a full tank. That way you have 1/3 out, 1/3 back and 1/3 in reserve. |

If you only have one tank, it's a good rule to follow. |
