Hi Wally. I am interested. I have a C&C 30-1 with an Atomic 4. Currently I am using a Gori 2 blade 11.5 x 8 but would consider getting a second one as a spare.
If you get the right wave direction at the mouth of the Niagara River it can produce some huge standing waves. I am not sure what physics would cause the folding prop to close in air if it was rotating, my thoughts up to now would have been that the centrifugal force would open it or keep it open.

We don't race and it folded once too often while my wife was docking. It is sized for an Atomic 4.? I have no idea where it is but I can look for it if you are interested. We had an interesting situation with it.? We were leaving NOTL Yacht Club, motoring over the Niagara River bar into a heavy north wind which created VERY tall waves, and every time the boat tipped over the top of a particularly large wave, the prop would leave the water and fold instantly.? We had to put the transmission in neutral then shift back into forward to re-open the prop. It took a few minutes of panic to figure out what was happening.
