I have a 13 X 9 on my 27MKIII which works well, so that sounds about right.

Thanks. I just bought the boat and I'm pretty annoyed but sure the problem is
that it's worn and needs maintenance. I'm planning on removing it and putting
a simple 2 blade prop on, at least for now.
It's hard to get info about the size and pitch specs. However, I found a
website in BC that has a prop calculator and it gave me 15" with 9" pitch for
my boat (CNC 33/2), engine and transmission. Does this sound right?
Any comments?

The obvious question in this case with a folding prop, is do all the blades
open all the way?
Once it is in the water it is hard to tell unless you can dive on it.
I bought a used 2 blade prop recently that is geared so that the halves are
supposed to open evenly. The pins are so worn in the prop body that the gear
teeth can jump one another and it gets stuck so that one blade does not open
all the way. In my case the prop needs to be re-built.
The short answer is that anything that causes one blade to stick will cause
the problem you describe.
There are other possibilities, but that is the easiest to check.

I have just purchased a C&C 33 mark 2 with a 2GMF engine. It has a
clamshell-type folding propeller that, once in gear, is causing significant
vibration above idle speed. What could be causing this?
