Propeller size Sun Fast 3200

[jochen]

Hello Jeanneau Owners Forum,
I am owner of a Sun Fast 3200 since 2008 and now I need to change the Eliche Radice prop on the boat. I cannot find the specs on the prop. Does anyone know. Grateful for a reply. Thanks Jochen

Hi Jochen,

Welcome to the forum, it is good to have you on board after so many years.  It will be interesting to hear about your experiences with the boat.

The information you need is the shaft size, and the taper and thread on the end for the propellor nut.

Based on my own experience and previous posts by others, it is most likely the standard ISO taper for the shaft size, with the nut thread size, also ISO metric specified in the table of standard tapers.  You may be able to measure the shaft size inside the boat between the seal and the engine coupling.  

Please take into account I don’t know your boat, so I am only saying what previous owners have found.  The first caution would be if you measure the shaft and find it is an imperial (inch) size.  The difference is only 0.4 mm per inch so you need calipers for an accurate measurement.

With the shaft size known, your Jeanneau agent or the propellor manufacturer may be able to confirm the taper standard used.  

I hope this this helps you make some progress, but please don’t order a propellor without further confirmation.

We have other fans of those propellors on the forum, so someone else may be able to provide more positive information.

The Sun Fast 3200 has the Yanmar 15hp Saildrive engine, so prop shaft is irrelevant. On my 3200 I had a 2 blade folding FLEXOFOLD propeller which you can buy from Darglow Engineering:
