Subject: Mariner 40 propellar

I have a Mariner 40 hull # 95 - Had her for over two years now and while I was out in the yard I was told I was way under propped. Cant't seem to get more then 4 and a half to 5 knots out of her. Can anyone tell me the correct size of the Mariner 40 Propellar?

We have a Westerbeke 64, the original suggestion was a 21", however, my mariner only has a 1.125" shaft so the final selection was 18x15. At full throttle we turn 2600, which is top rpm for this engine. It will push Tivoli to 7 knots at 2200 rpm. I generally run it around 1800 and this will give me 6 knots and gives me about 1 gallon per hour usage on our diesel. The calculation was made by Michagan prop. I installed a 3 bladed sailorman prop.

Alan,

I just replaced my prop, Shaft, cutass bearing and coupling on my Mariner 36. I have a Perkins 4-107 that runs very strong, the trans is a Borg Warner. I think the ratio is 2.53 to 1.
The hull displaces 22,000 lbs. I had a 18" X 12 pitch 2 blade, left hand prop. I was able to reach 3000 RPM's (the 2 blade was very skinney)
I replaced it with a 3 Blade 18" X 10 pitch, left hand prop and am very happy with it. I get around 2800-2900 RPM's. It is much smoother with no vibration. At 2000 RPM's I reach about 5 1/2 to 6 knots.
If you have a Borg Warner transmission the ratio is attached on a plate that is bolted on the top, port side of the trans. I cleaned mine up with a little pumice hand cleaner to read it.

Good Luck

We run a 3-bladed, 18 inch X 14 pitch left-handed prop on Ta' Ata Ori. The engine is the original Perkins 4-107, with a Borg-Warner transmission. We usually motor along at about 1800 to 2000 RPM. She'll make 6 knots at 2000 RPM in flat water.
