Prop question. Does anyone know if the prop spec for the 2005DB 480CE's is precisely what is written in the parts manual? The manual states Teignbridge Nibral 26 X 26 X 2. I need LH for port side
I broke shaft at key way just behind strut and lost prop. Occurred this past weekend. Luckily no other damage but now I am left to find a matching prop. I cannot locate anywhere and fear I may have to spring for two new props by another manufacture and deal with pitch tuning issues. The factory ones I have been running gave me 25 kts +/- at 2400 RPM. WOT was just over 2650 RPM. New shaft being made now but the prop might cause bigger issues.
I know general area where I lost but did not record long/lat at the time. Stupidity on my part. I may still try to dive and locate if I cannot find replacement.
Can anyone offer some insight? Thanks.
