I have recently purchased a 1979 37 Cutter. I was wondering what the proper prop size is for the boat and max prop diameter.
Thanks

Tom... You ask for the "MAX SIZE" based upon a boat brand and length. While there are generic sizes, it is impossible to know the "Exact Max Size" on your boat because we can not see if a previous owner attached anything to the boat bottom (i.e. depth sounder) that might affect the answer. It is best that you check your boat for max size by actual measurement, noting some distance is needed from the hull to avoid cavitation. Your prop source can likely help you with this issue if you can give them a photo of your hull bottom and the distance from the shaft to the hull bottom and distance of the end of shaft to the rudder or skeg if appropriate.
Measurement is easy if the boat is on the hard. If in the water you can use a diver to get the measurements for you.
