The boat yard just contacted me and said I will need a new propeller. The old one is worn out after I caught a rope in that storm in August.
I'm wondering if I should get the standard one (does anybody have a specification of the original prop of a Bav 40 model 2010?) or switch to a folding prop.
Engine is a D2-55. Any thoughts?
I attached a picture of what seems to be serial number of the prop but I cannot fully decipher it.
Same boat, same engine. I am very satisfied by Flexofold 18x13 3l folding propeller. No any problem, no any maintenance water lubrified. My speed in 7,3 kts at 2000 rpm, 7,5 at 2100 rpm. 7,7 at 2200 rpm but it is to much speed for the boat. Best cruise 2000 rpm, 7,3 kts 3,3 lt/h. Max rpm 2700. Good astern, little prop walk, better speed under sail. Under sail it is stopped in reverse gear positiion. Best choice.
