Im new to CCF and this is my first post.
My 76’ Southwind has a federal 975 stamped 13RH1 on it. I would like to get it repaired or purchase a replacement. Can someone please refer the models of Acme propellers that would be a good match? The federal is useable with light vibrations because of the scalloped leading edges in the 3 blades so I’m thinking it would be a spare.

Definitely not 1” of pitch lol. Probably a missing 3 out there somewhere…

I’d go with an Acme 540, a very common prop maybe you can even try before you buy.

Most importantly, spend $0 repairing that Federal.

I’m not a fan of Federal props either but it did save my vacation at the lake earlier this summer when I bent my band new Acme 15 minutes after I drop the boat in the water.

I went with the Federal as my spare and got a Acme 540.
