folding propellor

[bob the ancient mariner]

Good afternoon all.I have followed east coast forum for years but this is my first post. I am looking for a volvo 2 blade folding propellor for a120s saildrive mated to 2001 diesel. New is too expensive so hopefully can find a used one. Left handed and approx 16x9 or 15x10, anyn thing out there?. yacht based in Ipswich, but will travel. Thanks

Perhaps the Wanted forum might get more replies?

Used Is often buying someone else’s problem in this case so check before buying a lift out is not cheap
try lake engineering

I think you will be very lucky to find a used folding propeller that meets all the variables. I expect that the sellers found that it didn't work out for them. Best of luck though.

Both of those sound a bit big for a 2001. A 2001 normally has a 13 or maybe 14" propeller which is also used on the later 13hp engines, 9" pitch. 15" is for 20hp and 16" for 30hp. I have had 2 boats with 30hp on saildrives and both had 16*11.

Small saildrive props are rare because so few of the 10 and 13hp engines were sold so chances of finding a used one are small!

Many thanks for the info, I have only owned the yacht for a short while, and the prop performs well under power, But it is fairly old and the stamping info well worn, so I may have misread the 13inch diameter as 15. Boat is being hauled out next month for coppercoat refreshing,so will examine the prop thoroughly. much appreciated
