Hello all.
I recently bought a new Beta Marine 35 saildrive engine.
i am now in need of a new propeller.
I have a 43ft 'Gitana 43 ' sailboat.
There seem as many propellers as there are opinions on propellers.
However I am seeking your opinions now!
questions, 2 or 3 blade
fixed or folding (almost certainly folding)
supplier?
Type/pitch?
Thoughts on how to come up with the answers to the above questions also very welcome!
Many thanks in advance to you all.
Fair winds.
James

[quote=DariaBlackwell]We just fitted a new feathering prop (MaxProp) and were amazed at how much better propulsion we have in forward gear and dismayed that we now have no prop walk in reverse. In reading the literature that came with the prop, we learned that the new props do not have significant prop walk, which we used very effectively to maneuver in tight spaces in marinas before. :(
