Buhk Saildrive prop options

[yobbo]

My 30 foot yacht has Buhk DV10LSME saildrive currently using a Gori 12x8 2 blade folding prop.
Has anyone changed to 3 blade fixed with success and what sort if you have and the supplier;
This saildrive has the 6 splined shaft the same as the DV8LSME.
Which doesnt seem to very common from what I have been told

This may not help much but I have a 30 ft with BUKH 24 hp and sail drive. The three blade fixed prop works just fine especially now that the size has been reduced to allow the engine to reach ( almost ) its rated revs. You are right in thinking the 6 spine shaft is not common but have you spoken to the Aussie Gori dealer who also handles Yanmar engines? He is Power Equipment tele 0397640711. Good luck.

Thanks Action

have spoken to the Yanmar agent with regards to a Gori props plus Austral Propellers here as well with regard to a fixed 3 blade prop to suit sail drive with a rubber hub etc so might head down that path
