One for sale on Ebay at the moment.

Probably best to buy these things as a complete set. The forward and rear props are matched together, and I think, balanced together. Putting out-of-balance props on to the drive legs, will lead to early bearing failure.

Good one GC1 - It took me a second or so to match your comment with the picture that John1 has as his icon! Made me laugh for a while. I think you may need to retake your piccie John1, or tell us why its sort of folded!

...think so long as each prop is in balance, then that's ok, unless one has been customised, e.g. by hitting the bottom and then being repaired in a way that made it different to the original.

The most important thing with duos is "perfect pitch". If the front prop is even a slightly different pitch to the back one, then there will be a huge load on the lower bearings. The safest way is to buy them in sets, but if you're 100% sure that the remaining (good) prop hasn't been modified, then a replacement for the other should be fine.

I took my props off to clean them and noticed when all the gunk was removed, the front is a C6, the back is a C5.../forums/images/graemlins/shocked.gif
Know a cheap source of a pair of C5's by any chance?!!!
(C= stainless, A= aluminium for any non-grandma's not aware of egg extraction technique)

Two places to try for s/h props.
www.boatsandoutboards.co.uk
or
www.coastalrides.co.uk.
Both frequently have props on sale.

I sold an A6 to Depsol a few years ago. Might be worth sending him a PM.

You still haven't explained the fold in the photo,

Do you keep a photo of your boat in your wallet instead of one of your wife /forums/images/graemlins/shocked.gif


There is a pair of A6 in the For sale of this forum.

I used to have problems with the 4 blade props in that each season a blade would break off.

Volvo claimed it was a one off (6 times) /forums/images/graemlins/mad.gif

Pair available here.

C is for stainless, A is Ali for petrol and B is Ali for diesel.

I've got two old pairs of B5's under my desk if anyone wants them.
