Winter 42 Posted February 16, 2021 Share Posted February 16, 2021 I don't know much about props. This came with the boat, has been in storage ever since. not sure why it was removed ( fixed 3 bladed unit installed ) Appears to be a Gori? Cant see any markings on it other than "1" and "2" No idea how to identify pitch or model or whatever. What is it worth to someone? Cheers Quote Link to post Share on other sites
DoT 31 Posted February 16, 2021 Share Posted February 16, 2021 If you polish up the body you may find the pitch and size stamped on it. The markings tend to get obscured easily. The 1 and 2 tell you which blade to fit to which side of the prop. The blades will be stamped too. Quote Link to post Share on other sites
Fogg 427 Posted February 16, 2021 Share Posted February 16, 2021 Looks a lot like the old Gori I had on AC many years ago. Was ok in flat water but lost traction in a headwind and lacked bite in reverse - needed lots of revs to stop / reverse boat. I would say there are better options out there these days for folding / feathering props... Quote Link to post Share on other sites
B00B00 310 Posted February 16, 2021 Share Posted February 16, 2021 I could be keen to take a look at it. What size boat and engine was it on? Quote Link to post Share on other sites

B00B00 310 Posted February 16, 2021 Share Posted February 16, 2021 Might be too small for me. Looks to be about 380mm? I have a 35fter and 28hp. Quote Link to post Share on other sites
Frank 157 Posted February 16, 2021 Share Posted February 16, 2021 Looks like my old Bri-Ski, they were made in NZ and are still in business just google Bri ski propellers NZ. I sold one the other day for $150 which cost me $1500 new, never had a problem with performance fwd or reverse. Quote Link to post Share on other sites
waikiore 399 Posted February 16, 2021 Share Posted February 16, 2021 Not a Gori, could be an earlier Briski , too small for you Booboo Quote Link to post Share on other sites
Winter 42 Posted March 28, 2021 Author Share Posted March 28, 2021 Ok, update. Finally got around to polishing it up. Can now see a serial number, and a clear 15x11 marking. It has a marking which I think could read 'henley' ? Quote Link to post Share on other sites
Sail Rock 28 Posted March 30, 2021 Share Posted March 30, 2021 Yes, it is definitely a Henley. It is the same as mine (fitted on a Chico 30 and driven by a Yanmar 2GM20). I got it refurbished by Henley (in Glenfield) a few years ago - not cheap but much cheaper than buying a new Gori. It works fine, maybe not as efficient as a fixed prop but obviously less drag when sailing. If you do install it, you will need to use a stiff piece of steel flat bar to tighten the locking nut. Make sure this is tightened really well or else the prop might fall off when underway. This actually happened to us when reversing out of a marina berth - lucky place to be as easy / shallow to dive and retrieve it! Quote Link to post Share on other sites
