Do you have a drawing for the below Propeller?

Propeller: 48" Diameter, 43" Pitch

P/N: 48X43R.H.

NSN: 2010-01-501-5504

Answer 1:

There is no drawing for NSN 2010 01-501-5504 or NSN 2010 01-501-5506. Vendor quotes should be based solely on the data provided in Table 1. A reference drawing has been added to the specification which should answer most questions concerning these NSN’s.

Question 2:

And is this propeller also the same as drawing No. 65WD - 4400 -2?

Answer 2:

The 75' propellers identified under NSN 2010-01-501-5504/5506 are not the same as those shown in USCG Drawing 65WD-4400-2. A more accurate representation of these propellers is shown in USCG Drawing Number 75C-WLR-4400-2 which should be the primary document in conjunction with Table 1 used to prepare a quote.
