Hello, Since 2006 I have used a volvo 3-blade folding propeller on Scarab, a 2003 Hanse 371. Despite being satisfied with the volvo propeller, I think it's time to replace this propeller with a different one. I am curious about your choices and what you would recommend. Greetz, Koen |

I have the Flexofold 3-blade folding 17x14,3. and as I recall it is best in test, but read yourself: |

And just in case that isn't enough test material, here is another test where flex o fold came out well. I think Hanseboatoon have good pricing on f-o-f too

I am very satisfied with a Variprofile. 2 Bladed and no difference with a Max prop or Volvo.

I would send an email to info@flexofold.com. Inform them on boat and engine type incl. horsepower. Then they will sugest a propellor. Besides the diameter the pitch is extremely important. If you have the stronger engine then the pitch should be higher. I had initially a propellor which was correct for the 30 hp engine. When I changed to correct one for 40 hp, the hole behaviour is different. With 1800 rpm the boat speed is 6,5 kts.
