Volvo 2002

I'm trying to find out if my boat will be over propped if I fit a 16 X 11 folding prop.
If you have the same engine, Volvo 2002, what size is your prop.
Thanks

there's some prop sizing software on the net (and on my other pc which I dont have access to at the mo.) try googling

Another non-answer as I know nothing about it except that I have a 2003 pushing a Moody 31 and I noticed when polishing it the other day that the prop was 16x14.

I have a Northshore 33 fractional rig yacht with a Volvo 2002 and the prop is 16 X 11. No problem with the prop size and engine performance. Max speed under power is just on 7 knots but is more comfortable noise wise at around 6 knots
I am about to remove the current prop which is terribly worn on blade stops, blades fold about 20 - 30 degrees past mid point, and replace with exactly same prop. (second hand but in very good condition). Ahh the joys of slipping!

I have a volvo 2002 in a 29 ft boat. I took the prop of yesterday and it is a 16x 11.5

Trouble is my boats a cat which none of this sizing software seems to cater for. Current props, both knackered are 15X9 but I already have one 16X11 so would only have to buy one prop if this size is suitable.

My 2002 drove a Westerly Fulmar, 32 foot long weighing around 4 tonnes with a 16 x 11.
I still have it if you wish to make an offer.

I've got an Etap30 and reproped 2 years ago due to a clapped out 2 bladed folding prop which was 16x9. I then tried a 16x11, too course, ended up with a 16x10, just right me thinks.

It depends upon the ratio of your gearbox. Most 2002s have a 2.2 to 1 reduction gear but others are 3 to 1. My 2002 (3 to 1) has a 17/11 prop which works well. Your gearbox will have an identification plate just behind the oil filler.
