Thanks Geof,

Hello Steve.
If you want to buy a new Prop at the boat show you will always need to mention your type of boat, engine, building year, etc. They wont have the right prop on the shelf for you. So they will gather your boat data, and a good dealer/maker should know Bavaria 38/55 HP Volvo/Saildrive/Gear reduction ratio +++, and being able to recommend the right prop. Either they give you an offer at the show or later by mail so you can decide.
Good luck with the search.
here you can download an Excel Prop-Calculator

If you are buying an original equipment fixed prop then the dealer will recommend the size. suggest you check first with Clipper Marine who will have the original spec. If you are buying a folding or feathering prop again the supplier will recommend a size, which may not necessarily be the same as a fixed prop.

Ask any Volvo Penta dealer in the UK, by email. They will need all the info as previously mentioned.
