MD2030 propeller questions
What size propeller suits a Volvo Penta MD2030?
It depends on the gearbox ratio behind it (documented installations most often run 2.47:1, 2.48:1, 2.35:1) 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 MD2030 owners fit?
Documented Volvo Penta MD2030 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 MD2030 come in shaft and saildrive versions?
Both are documented: 117 shaft and 168 saildrive installations. The propeller differs (hub vs spline fitting) so tell us which yours is.
