Love my 3 blade MaxProp. However, not sure if a geared folder might not be more sensible for a 26' boat. Leave more $ for rum. Rich On Oct 19, 2013, at 21:21, Sam Salter sam.c.sal...@gmail.com wrote: This winters project is a folding/feathering prop. I've just sent off inquiries to:

My 35/3 has a 2 blade MaxProp. The boat moves well both forward and back ithout too much prop walk. I'm going to have it serviced this winter. Not looking forward to the bill. On Sunday, October 20, 2013, Rich Knowles wrote: Love my 3 blade MaxProp. However, not sure if a geared folder might

Sam I also have the 2 blade Martec and a 26. I have not found poor performance in reverse but I don't do it a bunch either. Can push just fine going forward. David Sent from Samsung Mobile Original message From: Harry Hallgring hhallgr...@icloud.com Date: 10-20-2013 5:00

Sam, I have a two blade Flex I Fold, which goes nicely forwards and backwards and replaced a 2 blade non-geared Martec that went sideways in reverse and sometimes went forward if the blades opened together (even after rebuilding). The two do not compare. Tim Mojito CC 35-3 Branford, CT On
