Hmm. That's peculiar. Centrifugal force should open them no matter which way the prop is rotating May be some wear on the blades at the pivot point. Or am I missing something?

By putting in reverse first, both blades open without problem and I can then shift to forward. Never shows the vibration in reverse.

The blades open easier and faster when you simply rev to the point centrifugal action opens the blades and they bite and open fully, provided the speed of the boat is slower than what it would be under power. _______________________________________________ This List is provided by the C&C Photo Album http://www.cncphotoalbum.com CnC-List@cnc-list.com
