Prop for Bavaria 36

[grant287]

Whilst out sailing a couple of weeks ago we stopped for lunch then decided to motor back to the marina as there was no wind at all. When I engage forwards there was no response although the engine was running fine and the linkages were working so jumped in the water to check the prop and it was gone! After reading a few blogs I now understand this is not uncommon.
The problem I am having is finding the right prop for my boat. Bavaria in Germany have not replied to emails and clipper marine don't seem to know. Can anyone help ?
It's z Bavaria 36 holiday, 1998. Engine is a Volvo Penta MD2030.
Many thanks

Many thanks Martin, I will try in the morning! Surely it shouldn't be that difficult to find the right prop. Have thought about a folding prop, will depend on cost unfortunately!

Cheers

Any Volvo dealer will have a selection chart for their props remember to get both linecutter and fixing kit

It will probably be a 16*11 2 blade, but the Volvo chart is accurate for afixed prop. Get a price for a Flexofold 2 blade from Darglow. The extra cost is not huge when you take into account the cone as well. Same performance under motor better under sail and won't fall off.

Thanks Scottie, there is a Volvo dealer here at Brighton marina but they said it could be one of six and need to find out which is the correct one!

Thanks Tranona, will give them a call in the morning, the flexofold looks like it may be the one!

Determine if fixed or folding how many blades you want check s drive ratio and model should be simple elimination!
