You will definitely will see a decent speed improvement under sail with a
folding prop. Depending on the prop you buy, you should see better power/control in reverse too. They are very reliable now, so I don't think that is a down side. The biggest downside is their cost. I have a Max prop and think it great. Paul www.jcruiser.org "MLapla4120" wrote in message ... I'm going to re-power soon and am also going to get new shaft and prop. It seems that in my boat class (Westsail 32), some people are going to folding props to help speed under sail. I'm for increased speed, but also want reliability. My current bronze propeller is pitted and old. Every time I turn around and look at it, it is full of sea growth. That makes me think I'm getting poor performance. So, I'm for an improvement, but I am unsure of what kind. Any opinions from boaters that have encountered this situation would be appreciated. Thanks, Mark , "Belle" Westsail 32 |
