Hi everyone, I recently bought a 35-3, and one of the projects it came with was the prop had galvanic corrosion and needed to be replaced. It's a fixed two blade.
The previous owners adjusted the pitch on it, apparently from 10 to 8. They seemed to think that improved performance but the boatyard is telling me that the specs for the boat and engine call for 10. Does anyone have any thoughts on this?

The prop I estimated for you has a 10 degree pitch which is specified for your boat and engine. Please see note below from our prop people and advise what you’d like to do.

UNFORTUNATELY, THE PROP I FOUND FOR YOU HAD ALREADY BEEN REPITCHED FROM 12 TO 10 AND CAN NOT BE REPITCHED ANYMORE. IT WOULD PROBABLY CRACK. I LOOKED AROUND AND FOUND ANOTHER 18"X 10", BUT THE PILOT BORE IS 1-1/8", SO THE CUSTOMER WOULD HAVE TO USE A BUSHING WITH IT AND HAVE IT REPITCHED TO 8". BUSHING COST IS $74 AND REPITCHING IS $150. KIND OF A WEIRD SIZE. THE LOWEST PITCH AVAILABLE IS 10". PLEASE DISCUSS WITH YOUR CUSTOMER. THANKS. ERNEL
