Hi
Boat is currently slipped and I would like to try and find a new prop quickly so it can be fitted. The current one is not big enough and under powered.
Motor is Bukh DV10 LSME. Current prop has diameter of 230mm and could go to 290mm easily.
Boat is Northshore 27, weighs 2300kg.
Does anyone know where I could get a 3 blade fixed prop, aluminium or bronze.
thanks

Hey, I fitted an austral 2 blade geared prop to my 33ft moderate displacement boat recently after I re powered her with a new engine. Very happy with the quality & performance

the austral props look nice but are all too big. There smallest one is 12 inch, I could possibly stretch to 11 inch

That's why I suggested it as a starting point, I did read your size constraints. Maybe give them a call and see what or who they can come up with to help you.

If your diameter is restricted maybe you need a coarser pitch on the blades.

I would just buy this and make adjustments.

That is a snip and should suit keensailor's Northshore almost perfectly.

The Gories are great, particularly good reverse for a folding prop.
