Dear fellow members,
My Playmate needs a new propellor because it's damaged. The broken one doesn't have size-information anymore. Does someone know the ideal prop-size for a Playmate with Volvo AQ170+AQ270 drive?

Hi!
Check test report: 7-01-049-016.jpg in the archive.
the test was made with AQ250 drive so you have to check the gear ratio AQ250 vs AQ270. They used 15x19" but the remarks says: only for max speed with one person.
With AQ130 engine the prop used was 15x15"
Also check the archives test reports for the 21 DC for more info.

Thank you Stefan! Found the test report. I'd probably need a little less pitch than 19" then. Rather 17" or 18" when looking at the AQ130 version. Unfortunately I can't find if there's a difference in the gear ratio. And I'm not totally sure if I've got a AQ270 drive. Will do some more searching, and going to read the DC21 test reports as well.
