Considerations for the Fisher 25
- 12 engine variants are documented for this model — repowers included. Sizing follows your engine and ratio, not the year in the brochure.
- Tip clearance rules the maximum diameter — roughly 10–15% of prop diameter to the hull. The Builder asks; we verify before supply.
Fisher 25 propeller questions
What size propeller does a Fisher 25 take?
Documented Fisher 25 installations most commonly run an Autoprop H5, matched to the Yanmar 3GM30 on a shaft drive. Exact size depends on your engine, gearbox ratio and aperture — every recommendation is verified by an engineer before supply.
How much fuel would a Fisher 25 save with an Autoprop?
Typical savings over a fixed-pitch propeller are up to 20% at cruise (documented band 15–30%, honestly less if you already run a folding or feathering prop). Put your engine hours and diesel price into the fuel calculator for your own numbers — then the Builder for a verified recommendation.
My Fisher 25 has a different engine than shown — does the data still help?
Yes. Repowers are common and the database usually holds several engine variants per model. The Builder starts from your actual engine and gearbox; the model records confirm diameters and clearances that are known to work on this hull.
