E27 prop advice

[kari]

I have an e 27, diver tells me I need a new prop . . . I have a 2 cylinder diesel Vetus 16 hp and a 2:1 trans ratio, I had a 3 blade I was happy with, don't know the diameter or pitch until he can get it off can anyone help with what I should be looking for? . . . . . cheaper the better . . .

prop size

My E 29 with a yanmar gm20f spins a 14x14 Martec. The suggested prop was a 15x9, but that is big.

A 3 bladed is often an inch smaller with the small pitch.

I found my prop on ebay, and it was fine.
Here is a site that might get you into the ball park.

Campbell Sailor 3 blade

I have an E27 with a Yanmar 2GMF - 15hp. I installed a new Campbell Sailor 3 blade 12x10 prop when I converted the engine from the original Atomic 4. It is a bit over pitched. I should get 3600rpm at full throttle but only get approx 2800rpm. I am going to remove it and have it re-pitched to 12x7.

When I originally sent the specifications to the distributor, he suggested a 13x8 but I thought it would be too big. I think it would have actually fit nicely.

i was originally going to reply to this as i have an E27 with new prop, but then I noticed you have different engine.
-- so not sure if this applies because I have Atomic 4 but here is what I have and it works well:

E27 prop update?

I'd be interested in an update on your prop change out. How is it working? I would love to hear from as many Ericson 27 owners about their props, engines etc. Thanks!
