Folding/Feathering Propellers
To anyone out there who has "practical experience" using folding or feathering propellers:
I am looking for any information re. folding/feathering propellers on a 26 foot sailboat using a Yanmar 20 hp inboard diesel.
Are they practical, effective for the cost? Where I sail, there is a lot of floating kelp and other debris that always seem to get wraped around my fixed bladed prop. The prop I now use is a fixed 13" x 12", factory installed. Will a folding or feathering prop improve the boats intermediate speeds?
