Looking for input on a prop replacement for a 92 H30. The engine is a 2GM20F. We hit a submerged object and one of the blades broke. I would like to replace it with a 3 blade brass prop. Any leads on vendors would be appreciated. Also, are there any tricks to removing the old prop. It's the original, and has never been removed.

The Campbell Sailor is an amazing fixed three blade prop. More efficient, less drag, less prop walk and smoother..

You'll need a prop puller to remove it or a large jawed gear puller from an auto parts store.

The photo below shows the WRONG way to pull a prop. You should always leave one nut on the shaft bit with about a 1/4" between the prop and the nut. If you don't leave the nut on you may get hit in the face with the face with the prop.

Campbell Sailor:


Campbell Compared to a Michigan MP. Note the airplane wing profile of the Campbell and the cupping at the trailing edge. This is where the efficiency comes from.


Size (read drag) comparison (these are both 16" diameter wheels:

Thanks for the comparaison pictures, I like them very much.
I just got a quote from Norm at West by North, for my H34 with a 3GM30F, he recommanded a 15RH x 9" pitch on my 1" shaft at 625$ CND + taxes and shipping.

Good luck

André
