The EPC for that part isn't specific about it's diameter either.
Fasten bra straps and remove dentures...

Going by my mercury table for that part number its a 10" x17", going by the same chart, the largest diameter of any pitch for your motor is 10 7/8", so if you find a stainless steel prop for your motor with the diameter anywhere between 10"-10 7/8" it should fit.

Thanks se7en, it was in the back of my head as 10" or 10" + a SMALL fraction,

enjoy your trip.
