Feathering Prop pitch

[Capt Gary175]

Can anyone tell me what the standard prop size/pitch is on a Pearson 39-2? My surveyor said I need to go up in pitch, because my Yanmar isn't running hot enough and it would be more efficient to increase it. However, the prop that I have, is a fixed 2 blade and is in such bad shape covered in old barnacle goo, neither the surveyor or I can't make out any markings.

So... what? The prop can't be cleaned?

I will ultimately try to clean up the prop and look for the info, but I want to change to a feathering prop. Wont be able to get to the boat in daylight for another week or two and was hoping someone could help me out so I could do some reasearch online
