All of the manufacturers of folding props (and their equivalents like the
flexible plastic Kiwi Prop) have a spot on their website where you can get a
recommendation for the optimum prop based on factors like boat size, type,
and weight, engine HP and max RPM, etc.

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

You might want to consider a feathering prop is you are going to replace
it. You can probably get one of those for a couple of year's tuition ;-).

thanks for the anode advice- After reading Dennis’ comments re installing shaft

What is the shaft size and which engine do you have?

corrosion. Bad electrical systems on neighboring boats could also
exacerbate your problems. I think most people follow the practice of

Joanne — if you’re in fresh water, you shouldn’t need anodes at all. The only
reason I have one on my prop shaft is to keep it from backing out of the hull

the anode had some corrosion but by no means badly. I am going to put on 2 this

Joanne,
Just looked in my C&C manual which has original specs for a whole bunch of
different C&C’s.
My data sheet is dated May 1977:
C&C 30:
Universal engine - 1:1 transmission - 11” x 7” x 7/8” RH (2 blade fixed)
Westerbeke Deisel - 2:1 transmission - 14” x 10” x 1” RH (2 blade fixed)
No
Here's a quick way to measure the pitch:

Was there any anode (zinc) left? On the Chesapeake I go through several in
a season. You might consider putting on 2 or having someone dive and check
during the season.
