Does My Prop Require special tools for Removal

[Navigator_Victory]

In title.....plus where can I buy tools if needed and or is there a workaround or another tool that might work?

What steps do you take to remove this prop? put in gear? use a 2x4 to keep it from turning etc.....

I see IBOATS has props on sale.....thinking about buying a spare....boat came with spare props but as you can see something happened to these and if it was me I did not even notice??? wonder if it is possible to knock that big of a chunk out of a prop and not know it? I have only had boat in open water and never less than four feet deep.

Not sure if I should start another post to ask this question but, what out drive do I have? I looked for numbers on the outside and found none ? I am trying to make sure I have accurate information about the boat for my ignorant questions

While I am being a pest with questions.....any idea what the pitch is from the pics? also is this a counter pitch?

This is what I am looking at for in the future are these the correct props? http://boatpropellers.iboats.com/Vo...n=Counter&pitch=19.00&chart=100&engine_id=523

Click Here To download the Owners manual for your engine. It shows how to remove and re-install the props. It may take a minute or two to download. Their site is always slow. It's about 10 MB.
Here is the prop tools you can order from iboats.

using a 2x4 is a whole lot easier than climbing in and out of the boat to shift gears when trying to hold the props from turning.

As far as what drive you have, according to your signature, you have a DP-C1

Find your local prop shop, they can fix those props up like new a LOT cheaper than you can buy new ones.

duh I have the manual on the boat.....retard.....sorry about that....I was not totally sure about the drive though since at some point you said the numbers were on the outside back.....guess the others I found were right.....so I hear all this aplha this and alpha that....guess that does not apply? now I know how to make my sig look better....at least pretend I know what I have

I found this link http://www.marinemechanic.com/volvo/Volvo Penta Workshop Manual.pdf I assume this will be ok ? the link you posted would not open.....the tool looks to be a 885127 does that sound right?

googled that part # and it looks just like a spanner wrench

Here is a picture of the "special" tool.....$51 for a metal pipe with grooves cut in it....you gotta be kidding me....I am in the wrong business....

Not the best one I've seen. Most look like a fixed swivel socket, non-ratcheting.

Plus side... now you have one. :facepalm:
