I have found a photo with what looks like an illegible reference mark so next weekend will have a look to see if I can read it through the weed hatch. I suspect that the manual is right when it says 18 x 12 as our builder Mitch did say he was giving us a propellor 1" bigger than normal.<br /><br />Richard<br />(who enjoyed doing 2000rpm on the run down from Sharpness)Anonymousnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-2235888185440306390.post-85052858730406611452009-04-17T19:36:00.000+01:002009-04-17T19:36:00.000+01:00Just for info, we've got a 17x12 prop, on an Isuzu...Just for info, we've got a 17x12 prop, on an Isuzu 42 with a 2:1 reduction.Have never been higher than 1500 RPM, never felt the need...<br />even on the Soar in flood.<br /><br />It looks like the Weaver worked it's magic on you too, then. thought it would.

I don't think the odd slice of spam will do them any harm.
