Bob,
My C&C 33-1 owner's manual (1976) lists props & engines supplied by C&C
Yachts as
C&C 33 Std Atomic four - gas 16x10x1 2blade (fixed or
folder) (comes with V-drive 2:1 reduction standard)
I have inquired at boat show about folding props for my boat and I
believe several companies were recommending something like 15x12. It was
awhile ago so the pitch may be wrong. I'm still using a fixed 16x10RH.

I've been off the list for awhile as I was considering going to the
dark (non-C&C - but still sail) side. At any rate Ox and I have
renewed our vows and I am going to open the ol' checkbook and lavish
some attention on my 36 year-old beauty . I've already ordered a new
(used) headsail from Minney's. Now I'm thinking about a
folding/feathering prop to replace the two-bladed fixed prop I
currently have.
If there's a way to search the Stu's-List archives for prop
info/opinions I will do so.
Ox is in the water year-round so it's not easy to verify some of my
assumptions. Ox has a rebuilt A4 (for sure, for sure) with a V-drive
(for sure) and a 2:1 reduction gear (I'm pretty sure) and a
right-hand drive (prop walk is to port). The prop is a fixed two-blade
but I have no idea as to it's size or pitch.
Flex-o-fold has my attention as a replacement. I'm not into hardcore
racing but a 0.5 to 1.0 knot increase would be very satisfying.
Opinions, experiences, and suggestions much appreciated.
