jim, the term "feathering" means to twist the blades into a streamline position
with a teeny, tiny, itzy, bitsy, little, small fraction of the drag presented
by blades in operating under power position.

understand now?

it does not fit. not even close. and if you had not blown $2,200 on a
prop
hoping against hope you could make your boat *sail* faster you would know
the
difference.

Did the dealer tell you you could pass Island Packets and Westsail 32 if
you
bought an auto-prop?



I didn't buy one JAXAshby. I simply wanted to know what you meant by
calling it a non-feathering prop. Alas, I should have known better than
to expect rational discourse from you.
