X2 please

I've got no idea about duo props so i googled duo prop cush drive and came up with this. Look in particular at the picture in the bottom left, described as a fenner genarator cush drive.

Colhel, for your information this is about propeller sets, consisting of two counter rotating props fitted to one shaft (in reality two shafts - one inside the other)

Definitely not cheap toys. Looks like this:

I have a new set of genuine unused boxed Volvo Penta A6 (2 props / 1 side) together with 2 spare plastic line cutters. Originally bought for a spare, but never used. If interested you can PM me.

Good to meet you and your good lady today Graham.

Half way there in sourcing 2 x sets of props after a hell-uv-a-day.. major accident on the M1 going home from work in Birmingham... delayed me by a couple of hours and then another 'get out the car and go for a walk' accident on the M3 after meeting up with Teddy at Penton Hook to pick up his Duo Prop.. just got to the boat. glass of fizz, kipp, then RYA First Aid course in the morning, I may need the first aid at this rate

Would welcome a PM from anyone who has a new or VGC A6 Duo Prop set for sale

cheers Gary

Sorry Gary, I might have lost the plot here, but can't you fit new bushes to your nicely painted props?

could do Paul but they are circa £100 to £140 per prop to repair = £400 - £560 to do the set. Two of the props also need some work due to pitting following the blasting process so that will increase the repair cost further. I am biting the bullet and buying new as the delta between repair of 10yo props and new isn't great enough to warrant the delay and expense of putting the props right buddy

Ok. Have you tried Steel Developments? I bought a new prop for my old boat as a spare, not much more than the repair cost. Not OE, but Solas. Seemed a reasonable bit of kit. For the Merc outdrive, I think they were £85 ish inc bushes. Not sure about Volvo prop prices.

Similar function to VolvoPaul, except not quite as slim.

Gary, speak to Nick Morris at Antarctic Marine over at Saxon Wharf 07950 435172, he's an independant ex Volvo engineer and a very useful source of all things Volvo. He could probably point you in the right direction.

not to be confused with the other one who has doesn't function as VolvoPaul but is far better looking.
