I have a 85 Hunter 28.5 and I need my prop replaced. The marina I'm at needed to know the size of prop that would fit on my prop shaft and wouldn't purchase one for me unless I had the correct size. What are the details on the prop that came standard with my boat? Thanks for any responses.

Most props have their dimensions stamped on them. Look at the hub there should be a 2 numbers possibly with a x between them and an R or L. The numbers will be the diameter and pitch and the letters tell whether it is a right hand or left hand prop.

Do not guess or use someones numbers. You need to evaluate your boat. They want to know the diameter of your shaft. The type of end on the shaft. The distance between the shaft and the bottom of your boat. Additionally the engine data, and the transmission. All of this goes into building the prop that will fit "YOUR BOAT" not just any boat.
