Andy,
Is your engine a direct drive or does it have the reduction gear? Lots of
discussion about props for direct drive engines on the Moyer Marine forum, but
most people seem to favor the Indigo 3 blade fixed.

I sprung for a Gori Racing folder about 3 years ago after some internet
research on prop drag. The Gori's drag was so low as to be almost immeasurable
compared to almost all others on the market in the Yachting article.
It or any other prop must be matched to the engine/transmission/boat
displacement and room to spin without interference from the hull which can lead
to cavitation or other problems.
It takes some time for it to get the boat moving in reverse but likely not
more than other 2 blade folders.
At yearly haul outs, it is barnacle free and after the teeth are cleaned up
and greased, it works like new. Of course, my boat bottom and prop are cleaned
no less than monthly and it stays in the water year round.

Every time this discussion comes up I mention the Kiwi prop which is less
expensive and more advanced than the others but to no avail. A friend put one
on his Sweden 38 and claims he gained a knot of speed under sail and under
power. They are lighter and non-metalic so do not corrode. Made in New
Zeland. Check their web site. kiwiprops.com. Jerry - C&C 27-5.

Gee, Andy,
I'm really surprised nobody replied yet. There's usually a decent
discussion on folders. Most fall into two camps, the Martec detractors and the
Flex-O-Fold supporters. I swing a Martec 2 blade folder on Touche'. As a
racer I like it but many do not because of its perceived lack of reverse power.
Call each supplier and get recommendations and pricing.

Hello, can someone give advice on selecting a folding prop that would be
matched with an Atomic 4 in a 35-2?
Thanks in advance.
