My 2016 505 #123 was delivered with a 3 blade Flex O Fold prop.
  
I'm going to have it serviced shortly, and the shop asked me if I knew the model number. There's a fair amount of play in it. 

Anyone know the model number for the '16 505's, with the 3 blade folding Flex O Fold prop?

My dealer had no idea, I could find no documentation aboard, and Flex O Fold is closed til August. 

Further, any advice on dialing it in so I can achieve more than 2750 RPMs would also be helpful. I think these
engines should run closer to 3,000 RPMs WOT and I think mine was never set up properly. 

Thanks.

You should be able to see the model number on the prop.  Admittedly if its in the water its more difficult, but if you have a picture.    This is from my 575

My 505 was originally delivered with a fixed prop, and I replaced it with a Flexofold. In discussing this with Flexofold they suggested the 3-bl. SD hub, M16x2 nut with the 20x13-3 L bladeset.
