D1-30 propeller questions
What size propeller suits a Volvo Penta D1-30?
It depends on the gearbox ratio behind it (documented installations most often run 2.19:1, 2.35:1, 2.14:1) and the boat it pushes. Power and max RPM set the optimum diameter; the ratio converts engine speed to shaft speed. The Builder runs the numbers and an engineer verifies.
Which propeller family do Volvo Penta D1-30 owners fit?
Documented Volvo Penta D1-30 installations run Autoprop H5, Autoprop H20, Varifold 2-blade — the split follows boat type and usage rather than the engine itself.
Does the Volvo Penta D1-30 come in shaft and saildrive versions?
Both are documented: 44 shaft and 221 saildrive installations. The propeller differs (hub vs spline fitting) so tell us which yours is.
