Hi Joanne,
I don't recall anyone offering the simple solution... take the prop
to the local prop shop.
They will have a gauge that can read the pitch of your prop. Bear in
mind that is only a starting point if you are not replacing in kind.
I don't know about the urethane perfect pitch props but if your
replacement prop has a remarkable blade area difference from the
corroded prop then expect that the pitch will be different.

Hello all
I have been watching the list for a while but never contributed
until now. Couple years ago we bought a 1980 C&C 30 MKI from the
original owner. wonderful wonderful boat! This was our first boat
and things have been a bit daunting at times- but I cant tell you
how much the list helps.
When we pulled her this year we had some serious prop corrosion
issues. We are still trying to assess the cause (anode was replaced
last spring but perhaps I didn't get good contact)but regardless we
will need to replace the prop. It is a 15 inch radius 2 blade fixed
but the erosion is such that I cannot read the pitch- how do I
figure this out?
Any suggestions as to suppliers as well?- we will likely stick with
the 2 blade fixed. has any one had experience with the urethane
perfect pitch props?
Thanks in advance
