I had these for a back up/spare set for my 2002 Volvo 8.1 375 HP. These are brand new never used in original Volvo box.
Paid $600 would sell for half price.

YT They are Aluminum I've looked on the props and the box but can't find the pitch? Do you know where to look for the pitch? I would keep them but the splines won't fit my Volvo 380 lower unit.

If these are for a DPS drive and are the correct pitch then I need a set. The F6 props on the 1999 Cobalt 232 I just purchased are dented and going in for repair. On my stainless props the numbers are etched on the side of the cylinder between the blades similar to this:

I might have a set of stainless for you depending what my hill marine props do. Either the Volvo props will go or the hill props will go.

Well, it looks like we will be running some of the same tests. I just took a look at ebay and Hill Marine had a used but good condition Signature 4 by 4 complete prop set (F6 pitch) listed on ebay with a buy it now of $400, so I hit that buy it now button. My local prop shop is going to repair my original Volvo F6 props this week and then I'm going to test both. The winner will be my primary set, the other will be my backup.
This is the listing where I found the Hill props:

Also, good luck with the sale gdane. I'm still curious to see what these props turn out to be.

Well I wish you would have said something first about the hill marine prop. That's prob my old prop. It didn't work on My boat. Terrible hole shot and midrange and I lost my top end and rpms. That f6 acted like a f8. So if it didn't work for you that's a great prop for someone that has a f7 or f8 . I went with a f5 so I hope that works. It Took me two seasons to get them to replace it. It was a mess and I won't ever deal with them again. If it's my prop is a great price I paid a grand for it.

That’s a D-series prop set, the pitch is D7, and the part number for that set is 3856367. That should be everything abuyer needs right there.

Thank-you for the feed back Mr Hahn. I'm not educated in the parts department. Big Block when I'm at the lake I will look to see if the props are aluminium they aren't stainless.

That was Yt asking if they were alum.
Yes those look to be alum. Mr.Hahn hit the part number and prop pitch on the head.

Interesting. Those are aluminum props for a dps-a drive. They do swap out with the f series prop.

BBP I don't know? Where can I find out? All I know is when I bought my 2016 R7 with the Volvo 380 the dealer said these spare props won't fit the splines on the 380. I bought these because I dog eared my props on the first day of vaca on the 4th of July and couldn't get the props fixed so I had no boat. Pretty much sucked so I bought these spares. Never had to use them.
So It was great insurance.
