D4-180 propeller questions
What size propeller suits a Volvo Penta D4-180?
It depends on the gearbox ratio behind it (documented installations most often run 2.52:1, 2.8:1, 2.68:1) 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 D4-180 owners fit?
Documented Volvo Penta D4-180 installations run Varifold 4-blade, Fixed-pitch, Autoprop H9 — the split follows boat type and usage rather than the engine itself.
Does the Volvo Penta D4-180 come in shaft and saildrive versions?
Documented installations are shaft-drive.
