🔌 Function

The forward propeller of an IPS drive's counter-rotating pair. It works in undisturbed water ahead of the drive, and the rear propeller behind it recovers the swirl it leaves.

⚠️ Common Signs of Failure

• Vibration felt through the hull, usually worst at cruising speed
• Rumbling from the drive as the rear propeller works in disturbed water
• Leading edges chipped, bent or worn round
• Pitting or grey erosion across the blade faces
• Fishing line or weed wound in at the hub, often with a scored seal behind it

🛠️ Service Notes

• Check the rear propeller before fitting this one, since 24167973 is the partner reference - damage on one usually means damage on both
• Look at the drive's propeller shaft seals and the flow deflector every time the propellers come off - fishing line at the hub cuts seals
• Weight is no guide across the IPS ranges - the published figures for the complete kits do not add up to the front and rear kits sold separately, so order by the dimension code and the engine application
