Does anyone know where I can get a prop for my 270 outdrive? Mines chewed up. Also wondering If they make different pitches for more top end speed? Cant find much for sale on them.

The props for the Volvo.
What motor?
They sell aftermarket props but the smaller
Volvo motors need the Volvo prop.
What motor? pics of the prop?

A friend had a 23ft with a Volvo AQ125
Said his motor/boat wasn't getting the performance
it was supposed to.
Checked things out and found nothing.
Then I noticed he had a new prop on and the old one
on the ground.
He changed the prop, same pitch but different blades.
Changed back and the performance came back.

they still sell props for your 270 drive anywhere where Volvo props are sold.

Anyone know what the prop pitch should be on a 17ft bayliner AQ125 and 270 outdrive. I cant even find the standard operating range info but wide open it runs about 4500 rpm now.
