Evan,
looking more closely to the website, they have specific blade shape design for each engine/boat, what the exact reference of your prop ?

Chris, adapters are readily available for converting 1.25 to 30mm and associated tapers. They are about $100; ask your local prop shop.

Sorry guys, the only information I have is what I have posted. If you contact Autoprop directly with the model # H5430 they can provide more detail. They were very helpful to me.

Cheers,

Motivated, I see...

What is the Autoprop number for the prop for sale? This is what autoprop shows for my boat which is an endeavour 40 with a Perkins 4-108. What is your gear reduction and engine? may call autoprop and see what range of props i can use.

[Uncle Buck]

AP2852LH is what is stamped into it, which means it is model H5430. 17" diameter for 1.25" shaft. It will work really well for your boat with that engine assuming you have a 2:1 transmission ratio (my boat has a 1.5:1 ratio so it is too much prop). Contact Autoprop and ask them to confirm it but it should be awesome.

oops I wrote my opinion of folding props, but because someone is trying to sell theirs I deleted it
Personally....too many moving parts to screw up

Thanks (I agree that it's not an appropriate place for your opinion, you can start a new topic for that), but 1) this is not a folding prop and 2) ball bearings have proven themselves to be pretty reliable..
