Carver Owners Forum

I have a 1989 Carver 3207 (aft cabin). In loading it onto a trailer with a stiff beam wind I managed to chew up the starboard prop, which I now need to replace. It's an 18" DynaQuad 4-blade bronze prop (mfg part number DQ4B18B). I know the shaft size and the rotation but I need to know the pitch before I can order a new one. It hit the water before I could check the numbering on the port prop, and at ~$1,000 I'm not prepared replace them both so that they match!

Please advise if you know the proper pitch. Thanks.

Not sure on the amount of damage, but have you thought about getting it repaired. I damaged both of my props 2 years ago and I took them to a qualified prop repair shop. It was a fraction of the cost for new.

If only one of your props is damaged, you can take them both in and they will balance both props.

They will know all the specs for your props. Even if you have to purchase a new prop, they will be able to balance both.

Thanks, Greg. I'm in a bit of a bind as the boat is in the water a 4-hour drive away and there's no way to haul it. I'll get a diver to pull both props and send them out to repair. There's a fine prop repair place in Houston to which I'll send them.
