Goran, my F26 is 1977 with original engine (Chrysler Marine 318 w 225 hp at 4000 rpm) and original prop Nibral 14x9. I knew the original owner and have all the original paperwork, manuals, invoices, etc.

I believe Prowlerfish is correct that the 14x9 or 14x10 would be fine for your new diesel power.

Best Regards

Thank you for info :D
Diesel engine is not new , I installed long time ago
But in mean time I add more than 500 kilograms for sure

Yes I find here on this forum 14x10 / 14x9 to be original for F25

BTW great choice on your solar charger , I have same brand

Hi Goran
Yes, I like the VictronConnect app too. Nice to see what is going on with solar power when I’m away from the boat.
You added 500 kilograms to your boat? Wow, that’s a lot of weight!

diesel engines are very sensitive to OVERPROPPING

OVERPROPPING will shorten the life of any diesel engine

suggest you make sure that your engines can reach the published maximum RPM while under load

Suggest you do this with FULL TANKS, fuel, water, waste

This is often overlooked, as boats tend to get heavier as owners add gear, equipment & spares

Hope this helps
