Kim, I have noticed that if I bring the boat to a complete stop in reverse and then put it in forward and accelerate that it works about 50% of the time. So, I guess I'll just deal with it this season and get it rebuilt in the fall.

Folks at Martec were easy to deal with. Had/have the only one blade deploying issue primarily when I failed to stop/slow sufficiently before putting in forward (ie sailing @ under 3 knots = time for iron genny) Couldn't kick it in gear w/o slowing more or else one blade deployment would be an issue (easy to do but hard to remember to do). After rebuild it is MUCH better and is now a very rare event. Besides the pin redo they rebuild the stops. Not sure what solves the issue but it is solved. Kim Brown TrustMe!!! 35-3 ____________________________________________________________________________ I have a Martec folding prop which when I come off the mooring operates fine. However if I slow down or stop to pick up crew at the dock something happens and it vibrates like crazy. It?s got to be that one of the blades folded and the other didn?t and when I accelerate it still vibrates as though the blade that folded does come out again. Both blades do deploy when I put it in reverse but then one folds when I go into forward. Is this how these folding blade props act when they have too much play? If anyone has had that happen and then had it reworked by Martec did this problem go away?
