Or, just return the prop to Amazon and try for an OEM prop from an online supplier, I've used
Boats.net: Outboard Motors, OEM Marine Parts, Boats for Sale for Yamaha parts, props included. Have had decent experiences with them. I'd look up the parts list for the correct model and year of your outboard, then compare the recommended prop to what you've got, as well as the old one. There is typically a dia. X pitch for the prop, just matching the diameter is no guarantee it'll match yours.
If you cruise full-time, it'd be a good idea to have a spare prop, they're not terribly costly for the hassle it saves having one on board.
I never thought it was necessary to carry a spare until I whacked a reef on Conception Island. Might as well have been on the moon with trying to find a replacement!
