I hope someone can help. I have a 2005 320 with Volvo 5.7 osi motors and the dreaded xdp outdrives. It has recently been discovered that I have two different sets of props. One is F3's the other F4's. I am scheduled for the ocean x change over in March and want to correct this during the swap. My question is, which set is correct? Thanks in advance.

Turns out the F3 were the correct set. My new set arrived yesterday and now I have an F4 paper weight.

Wow!

When the F3's and F4's were on your boat at the same time,, what were the cruising characteristics?  What is the difference between the two prop sets?  Did you boat pull one way or another.  Were the RPM's the same for each engine?  etc.

Fuel consumption was different between the two but not enough to set off any concern to investigate. Top end was different. The F3 was 5000 and F4 was 4500 rpm. Other than the afore mentioned I would have not known there was an issue.
