Hi, does anyone know the specification for the propeller fitted to the Birchwood 25 (Watermota Petrol engine shaft drive)?
Rebel III is being lifted for antifoul and other jobs on October 23rd. When Rebel III had her pre purchase survey in October 2008 it was found that due to the sacrifical annodes being shot the propeller had been doing their job and needs replacing!
Any help with this one would be much appreciated.

Hi,I'm afraid there probably wasn't a standard spec as different gearboxes were used even the J type had variations which could affect the prop size and pitch, also boats destined for inland waterways would have a different spec(fine pitch)as opposed to a course pitch for coastal work.
Best wait until it's out and see what you've got and if you've been happy with it's performance replace like for like.
You shouldn't have to pay for a second complete lift out as a yard doesn't have to completely lift the boat to replace a prop they just hoist up the stern.

Hi April Rose,

thanks for the info. Since posting my question I have received a call from someone on our river who has a prop available for a B25 petrol. So problem sorted!

Regards Alan.
