You are correct, it is for the 30hp Yanmar in the 370 and 341/2.
I have replaced it by a 3 blade VariProfile made by SPW in Bremen. I was looking for some more speed under engine without a dramatic increase in drag. Otherwise the FelxOFold was fine.
Best,
Alexander

In theory it is correct: fewer blades mean higher efficiency, articularly because of less drag, but as far as I understand this comes at the cost of higher RPMs, loads and vibrations - at least this is true in planes. However, the new prop was a gift and I am also looking forward to less noise when under engine. The boat is out of the water now, but I can report back in April at the latest on speed.
Best,
Alexander
