Plus 2 less common variants in the database. Indicative only — gearboxes and apertures vary between years and repowers, which is why every supplied propeller is verified against your boat first. Data current as of 2026.

Considerations for the Moody 376

  • 10 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.

Moody 376 propeller questions

What size propeller does a Moody 376 take?

Documented Moody 376 installations most commonly run an Autoprop H5, matched to the Thornycroft T98 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 Moody 376 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 Moody 376 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.
