I was not referring to feathering props. As I understand them, they are designed to be about equal in forward or reverse. My former Max-Prop 3 blade feathering prop was excellent and relatively quickly got the boat going in reverse. Any geared folding 2-blade prop will get a boat moving in reverse--just not very efficiently--especially if it is optimized for forward motion and minimum drag when folded. The time it takes between putting her into reverse and actually moving backward with flow over the rudder is what can take several seconds with a folder.. If other things are happening nearby (current, wind, pilings, etc.), these few seconds can seem like a very long time!. Charlie Nelson C&C 36 XL/kcb Water Phantom
