What diameter were the Mercury BP stainless propellers of the late 60's & what pitch sizes were they available in? And what was the name of the company that later used their blade cross-section, as their own. Ed

I tried to upload some original data but had trouble.

To answer the question, BP props ran 12" diameter in both RH and LH rotation. The pitch started at 20 went all the way to 32.

Not to mention...All those sizes were available in both three blade AND two blade configurations. Carl spent a fortune developing/tooling/promoting these gearcases, props & engines. Only to last a few short years in popularity. Ed
