Anyone recognise this propeller?

[Fintra]

I have this variable pitch propeller which needs some refurbishment. Does anyone know who the manufacturer was? Are they still going? Its over 50 years old.

Is it off a Sabb

No. Its off an Eventide, originally fitted mid-sixties.

Don’t recognise it but Watermota made one in a size likely to be used in that boat and era

Sabb is a make of engine, usually fitted with a variable pitch propeller like the one pictured. The pitch can be varied from forward to reverse. It was very popular in the 60s and early 70s, and was fitted to many boats of that era.

Saab, I think.

No, it was SABB, a Norwegian make. The confusion with Saab was prevalent even when they were in widespread use!

Think the Watermotor one had a rounded boss.

You are absolutely right. I stand corrected.
