Does any one have a Beneteau 361 with Volvo 2030 fitted with a fixed 3 bladed L/H prop know the size of the prop. Thanks Ivor

Thank you, look forward to hearing from you.

I've got it down.

it is actually a two blader so may not be much help.

It is 16 in dia. It is still covered in anti-fouling so I can't see any marks on the blade but the boss is marked with what looks like E 16 -though can't be sure.

I hope this is some help.

Would suspect that it is a 16*12 which is common for that engine/boat size. However if you are buying a replacement it is best to provide your supplier with details of the boat so that he can do the sums (or know from previous experience). Then it is his responsibility to get it right.
The Beneteau agent, Ancasta will probably have the records of the original.

Thanks Davidej. My current 2 blade prop is 16 x 11 l/h. I was thinking about changing to 3 blade as I motor sail a lot due to being single handed most of the time so was just trying to find out what size the 3 blade prop was.

In that case- flash the plastic and buy a Brunton Autoprop.
