Cotter pin size for 88 Yamaha 25

[duckwhisperer]

Left my boat at Dale Hollow Lake in a slip. My new prop came in and I don't know what size cotter pin to take with me to change the prop out when I go back this weekend. I already had the old prop off and reinstalled the old pin so I am afraid to do it again without changing the cotter pin. They have them in stainless at the local Lowes but I don't know the diameter or length to get. Anybody familiar with about what length/diameter would get me close?

should be 1/8" pin size (width) and the length can be easily modified with side cutters so just make sure you get 2" keys or longer and you can cut it to exact size. Cotter keys are cheap so bring several (I have dropped them in the lake before #-o )

1/8 is a little snug if it's the 25ESH. The C25-I am not familiar with, but "should" be the same. 2.5mm fits better than a 1/8", although 1/8 will fit...its just really snug.
