I just bought a 1984 Bayliner Contessa 2850 Command Bridge with a Volvo Penta 270. The previous owner said it had "too much prop" on it and should be changed. I am trying to find the ideal prop for the boat to get it to plane out reasonably quickly and still have a reasonable top speed. But I do not know the reduction ratio, current prop size or anything. Is there a standard reduction ratio for the Volvo Penta 270? Any help or suggestions out there would be apprectiated.
