Propeller zinc selection

[FredW]

short of pulling the zinc, any way to determine what size fits a 2013 Oceania 34?

 

[Dave Groshong]

Likely a 25mm shaft, but mic it to be sure.

That’s what I have on my Ben 343; 25mm.

 

[FredW]

Thx, as I have to dive to replace it, I will get the 25mm and get a size large and smaller and have them available if needed.

Isn't the shaft visible inside the boat behind the transmission?

Why not call Beneteau? I have found them to be very helpful and to keep good records. (843) 629-5320
And I use their spare parts system to order parts all the time. http://spareparts.beneteauusa.com/controleur.php?action=accueil

+! My B323 is 25 mm.

Your Beneteau 34 has a 25mm shaft. Don't bother trying to source the next size down (20mm) as you will not likely find one and I guarantee your boat doesn't use it anyway. If it makes you feel better to also buy next size up (30mm), knock yourself out but you'll just end up returning it.

We replaced the prop on our Oceanis 37 with a Flex-o-Fold with 25mm hub. I'd be surprised if the 34 was different.

All, Thanks for the feedback! I have measured the shaft at the back the transmission. I have also registered with Beneteau in anticipation of other questions. I will be going over the side shortly!
