Topic: prop size

Hi
I'm in the last stages of a 5 year total refit of my c 26 ,Irish Mist ,and I was wondering what propeller pitch and diameter was fitted on contessas delivered with Petter diesel ? I would like comments from owners of Petter powered.Contessas and if their prop size seems to be correct. Personally I have the impression that I have an incorrect   (mis-matched)prop size .Merci Pierre

Re: prop size

still have a Petter in mine, and have a 3-bladed prop.  I was able to do about 5 knots on average going full throttle.  Unfortunately, my boat is 1.5 hours away, and I wasn't planning on checking up on her for a bit.  The one photo of the prop I have from last winter doesn't show any numbers, so I'm not sure how to help you calculate the pitch.  If the photo might help, just e-mail me.  I expect there is some kind of coding stamped into the prop somwhere... I'll take a look next time I'm there.  Hope you're not in a hurry.
