Re: Stus-List Folding/feathering Props

[sam . c . salter]

Good experiences; thanks for sharing. Looks like two or three endorsements for the Max Prop; about the same against the Martec; one for the Flexofold; ...and a Gori replacing a Martec! couple of questions: How big a deal is the maintenance on the Max Prop? Is it just a matter of greasing the prop every couple of years or is there more? - I pull the boat out of the lake every October; so it wouldn't be too much of a concern. I still have the old prop on the shaft. Am I correct in assuming that the taper is a standard SAE? I'm going to need to know for sure before I order. (Probably safer to remove the prop and measure for peace of mind!) Any more information / experiences / insights welcome.  sam C&C 26.

I have not found poor performance in reverse but I don't do it a bunch either. Can push just fine going forward.

I've just sent off inquiries to: Flexofold Max Prop Slipstream Anyone got any comments/observations/likes/dislikes. Any experience good or bad with any type of folding/feathering prop would be useful. Any other manufacturers recommended. Now is your chance to get in on a real sailing topic - folding/feathering props OR rum! sam :-) C&C 26  Liquorice Ghost Lake  Alberta _______________________________________________ This List is provided by the C&C Photo Album http://www.cncphotoalbum.com CnC-List@cnc-list.com _______________________________________________ This List is provided by the C&C Photo Album http://www.cncphotoalbum.com CnC-List@cnc-list.com _______________________________________________ This List is provided by the C&C Photo Album http://www.cncphotoalbum.com CnC-List@cnc-list.com
