Maximum prop diameter c27

[Peter]

Anybody know the maximum prop diameter that can fit a '75 c27? I forgot to measure when the boat was hauled in the summer and I'm thinking of getting a new prop. Apparently, with the engine (10hp diesel)and reduction gear(2.47:1) I have, I should ideally have a 15in diameter prop....but I doubt that would fit. Any help would be appreciated.Peter

New Prop

Peter,We are now in the process of changing the prop on our Catalina 30 after a recent repower from a Yanmar YSE-12 to a Yanmar 2GM. Changing from a 12 inch 2 blade to a 13 inch 3 blade Campbell Sailor Prop. Prior to the choise I made some calls here in B.C. and got the best size pitch combination for the boat and this engine.If you wish to e-mail me I will give you the tel #'s and they will make some suggestions.
