Jeanneau Sangria Propeller Change

[sangria]

Hi Guys,

I have a Sangria with a 12x7 two blade propeller. I am thinking of changing it since it feels the engine can get more load and boat is not too responsive with the two blade. Can I ask Sangria Boat owners what prop they have on their boat or at least if they don't know, do you have a two blade or a three blade?

Thanks and Regards,
Andrew

Hi,

Thank you very much for your help. I finally found out what is not normal on my boat and why its using a left turn propeller... The installer that installed the engine and gear box, installed the gear box the other way round, so in forward it is using the reverse ratio so when I am going forward and give it reverse it is feeling a lot of load and nearly switches itself off... I will correct all this and make it work as it should once it is out of the water and install a right turn 12 x 8 propeller.
