I hacked 1.5 inches off my prop!!

Just a comment, but it is the outer bit of the prop that does the best work, so chopping it off might not be the best solution.
Getting it 're propped' would be better.
 
Thanks for all the feedback guys...

A Volvo dealer got in touch today and explained...
This is for MS15A-B gearbox
The FWD ratio is either 2.14:1 or 2.63:1 depending on exact gearbox. The reverse ratio is always 2.63:1. The prop should normally be right hand.

The gearbox lever push towards the engine puts it in reverse.
