In case you didn't see this email, sent earlier in the thread: A friend has a 25 year old 2-blade Gori folding propeller on his C&C 35 Mk.I
It had started unfolding incorrectly as the pins were worn enough to allow the gear teeth to occasionally skip. He took his to a local machine shop and they made up two new, slightly oversize pins, drilled the prop out to fit that new pins and it now works like new again. They charged him about $150.00 for this repair. Cheap for a new prop that works like new I think. Ken H.
