having a hard time finding a used prop for my 290. ate up my spare aluminum prop yesterday. prefer a 3 blade 23 or 24 pitch ss, labbed would be nice but not necessary.

prop rotation setup in the volvo usually spins the same way as the side the helm is on to counter act prop torque

port helm LH rotation

starboard helm RH rotation

but as in every rule there are exceptions

left is counter clockwise right is clockwise


the chopper prop has long slender rounded blades, the cleaver has larger triangular very sharp blades made for running at or close to the surface

both need some HP to turn them

when i got the out drive, i was told to leave it RH rotation because its less stress and wear on the internals. is this true? i have a starboard helm. the prop will be going on a 22' semi deep v with a 445hp SBC. do you think i have the power to spin either of these props efficently?
