I want to sell my old prop but I am unsure of the size. Here's a photo of the hub etchings if that helps anyone ID the size.

My best guess would be it's a 19 " diameter and 14" pitch. Manufacture date July 2006 . You forgot to mention the shaft diameter , I think 35mm

Thanks, Sailbleu! The shaft on the 2008 SO42DS is 30mm. I assume this is a RH prop.

"DR" could stand for "droite" = right handed? In any case it looks RH from the picture.

I am about to pull my fixed prop off and replace it with a folding prop, but I'm not sure if I will sell the fixed prop or just keep it as a backup.
What is a fixed prop like that worth?

A friend lost his folding prop on a recent trip, he had kept his fixed prop on the boat and was able to fit it and continue the trip.

I am guessing the prop might sell for a few hundred dollars as it is in very good condition; however, I have decided to keep it as a spare...Just in case!

I'm actually looking for a replacement , mine is 19 x 13 and a 30mm shaft . Last year on the haul out I coated the blades and during the whole season one blade stayed pristine coated whilst the other 2 showed the bronze outlook again. In the past I had some rope-in-propeller encounters so I think one blade is bent . Took it off last month in winter storage and brought it home , I intend to have it straightened . However , if I can buy a decent secondhand for the price that equals the renovation of my old one I might go down that road . Shipment in Europe though , customs usually kill international deals.
Regards
