Well, I went to change the oil on my Volvo Penta DuoProp and it seems I have joined the many owners who's forward prop has seized on the outer shaft.

I tried any trick I had to try to get it off, its just not gonna happen. I've accepted I have to cut it off.

That said I will will use this as an opportunity to buy new props.
Is there a per-se 'upgrade' that I should consider or just get the same prop?
I can tell what props are on it now. Where are the marks on the props? And I have a feeling if there are marks there pretty worn off.

Any help is appreciated.

It is a 2001 DP-SM outdrive serial number 4202001529.

Re: Need help identifying my prop.

If you was getting the proper WOT rpm, stick with what you had.
If your props are aluminum, you should see a D2 to D9 number on the props on the hub between the props. If stainless props, they will have F and the number.
