The invention relates to a marine propeller having adjustable propeller blades (5) attached to a hub (1, 2). The root-part (7) of each blade (5) is mounted in the hub (1, 2) for rotation about an axis that defines an angle with the axial direction of the propeller. A blade setting adjusting means (4, 5) is adapted for rotating all blades (5) in unison. According to the invention, the blade setting adjusting means comprises a blade setting adjuster ring (4) which includes locking means (20, 21) for co-action with locking means (22, 23) on the hub. The adjuster ring (4) can be moved axially between a locking position in which the adjuster ring is locked against rotation, and a release position in which the adjuster ring can be rotated relative to the hub (1, 2). The locking means (20, 21, 22, 23) define a plurality of distinct rotational positions of the adjuster ring (4). Movement transmission means (15, 17) transfer rotary movement of the adjuster ring (4) to respective blades (5).
