Unfortunately the blades to the Martec prop that was on the boat came off while motoring to my slip. I’m now looking for a new prop and was told the best way to go is the varifold. Does anyone have any idea of the proper pitch and size of the blades that would be used? Any info would be greatly appreciated.

I ended up going with a Gori Folding Std 2-blade - 15" x 10 x 2-blade RH. "The sea is selective; slow at recognition of effort and aptitude, but fast in sinking the unfit." - Felix Riesenberg
