Boat was significantly over-propped when I acquired her. Largely because transmission ratio is 2.2:1 not 2.62:1 as stamped on the casing. While the props that came with the boat (a Gori 15X10 and a 3 blade fixed 14X9) were too big, prop walk was not an issue. Just installed a Campbell Sailor 12x6 and the prop walk is severe (in spite of the additional tip to hull clearance). It is basically impossible to turn the bow to port in reverse . The bow swings to starboard and then once there is some movement through the water will crab sideways, but the bow will not swing around to port. I have not found any combination of throttle and rudder position that makes the situation any better.
I need to replace the prop to avoid getting into trouble in close quarters at some point. Question to C&C 29-2 owners: Has anyone found a prop that works well going forward and in reverse. Thanks in advance.
