Thanks. I was wondering about that. There seems to be some play and I don't know enough about them to assess it. The play seems to be at the connection to the shaft, not where the blades hinge to the base of the prop. In other words the whole prop will move a little on the shaft.

Just remember that you have to throttle up pretty far to get the blade to open and start moving the boat backwards. If it is problematic for the remainder of this season you can change it out during the next haul-out. You should give the one you have a good inspection while the boat is on the hard to make sure there isn't too much play. They can be remanufactured cheaper than new.

I have one on my boat. I have no experience with them. It is sitting on the hard and this is my last chance to replace it before I launch (hopefully) next weekend. I will not be racing, at least not this season. Should I be considering a fixed three blade prop? Is the performance in reverse worth the cost?
