Volvo Penta S-Drive Hex Head Propeller Screw?

[nigelmercier]

Does anyone have a Volvo Penta S-Drive Hex Head Propeller Screw handy?

I need to know what size Allen Key fits it. My drive is a 120S, but I imagine they are all the same screw.

Happens to be one on my workbench. Not as good as it once was, but assuming it's metric the Allen key size appears to be 6mm.

My old bolt off a 120S also seems to be 6mm (but it is a loose fit).

1/4" then perhaps but Id think it unlikely to be other than metric.

I can't remember the size, but a tommy bar was useful!

Indeed, the reason I wanted to know was so I could buy this.

Thanks for replies, hopefully now sorted.

Yes, I've a set of these - most useful. From Halfords IIRC.

Nigel,

Why not buy the set ? Not expensive.

True, but I already have a set of hex bits which will fit into a socket. I wanted one that was fixed, so it doesn't fall out when I dive down to change my propeller next week.
