I just hit a log and had to replace my Martec. It was a 14" RH (right Hand) with a pitch of 10. It is stamped on the prop but might be hard to read without sanding off some growth. I was doing an ocean delivery and wanted a replacement fast so I got a new one from Martec (about $600) . But the only one they had in stock was a 15" model same pitch. The guy at Martec seemed to think this was fine as "most of these vintage boats were under propped and you can run the Yanmar at slightly lower rpm's and still put the good load on the engine" as diesels supposedly need. I think it worked fine and I'm sure I've picked up a little speed too! |
