Hi Mike
I've got one. Haven't seen any reviews that say they fail but maybe
I've missed it. I'm on season 4 with no issues so far.
Pros: feathering prop, stainless body with plastic blades. Blades can
(should) be painted with antifouling - I have no problem with stuff
growing on my prop, so performance is the same from start of season
through end. Reverse is as close to having brakes as you will see on a
boat. Less expensive vs most other folding props (although I think that
has changed to be less of an advantage since I bought mine). Blades can
be easily and cheaply replaced if damaged (haven't had to do so myself,
nor have I heard of any who have). Came with a hat.
Con - I believe I have a lower top speed. I only had a single season on
the previous prop though, and we do not motor much - so no hard data.
While the boat is out of the water people like to flip the blades and
ask what it is...

Any one have any experience with a Kiwi prop? I been thinking about
one for a couple of years now. The reviews seem to say they are good
for a couple of years then they start to fail, pins or something.
Any comments would be appreciated good or bad.
Thanks
