Turbo has been pouring props for Yamaha for years. But the Black Painted Stainless Steel Yamaha prop is not built by Turbo. Turbo builds a few props that will run on the 40 Merc, but, they don't hold a candle to the little black yammie prop.
If you like everything about the Yamaha prop but the rpm's, get the 16 and try it. Motor height should stay the same, it will drop the rpm's by about 250 and may gain a little speed. I run a black yammie prop on my Merc when duck hunting. It has been reworked by my old race prop guy, runs decent.
