Shouldn't you make sure it's the right size and
pitch? Or doesn't that matter?

He doesn't know the specs, so I'll take a chance. I have so many
friends with 27-30 foot sailboats, the prop would find a home no matter
what. Why let it go to waste, Steve? I also have a friend with San Juan
30/30 who could use it, among others.

Why? he's just going to sell it on e-bay with the rest of his
stolen crap.

Classy Scotty strikes again.

The pitch is adjustable.

What is the diameter? With a 3/4" diameter shaft, it
can't be very big.

Don't give it to the Swab. He will just sell it.

Put it on eBay yourself. Be sure to list the diameter of
the prop also. The bigger the wheel, the more it is worth.

Bart,
He said it was a Martec folding prop. Yes, the
pitch is adjustable - if you send it to the
factory to have the blades ground or new blades
put on it.

An easy course of action and cheap to do when you send them back to be
reconditioned...needed after a time because of play in the hinge
action.

Easy and cheap? By the time you send them back,
get new blades, have the hub and your new blades
drilled for an oversized pin and have new stops
welded on the hub you've spent almost as much as
buying a new prop. The other problem is that you
can only have the prop refurbished a few times as
the rebore for an over sized pin almost every time
and can only do three times. So, you spent almost
as much as a new prop and get a prop with a much
shorter life span.
Now, if you knew the prop was the right size and
pitch for the boat, it wouldn't be as much of an
issue.

I had a new prop reconditioned for a friend's J30 a few years back.
Admittedly not a big prop, but the whole job was under 400 dollars and
the prop came back good as new. A new prop was a lot more than 400
bucks, more than twice the price. At that time I was also able to
bargain with the people at Martec a bit. They did a great job and that
prop is still in very good shape. Well worth it.
