We've had an Autostream for three seasons. It came from the factory with the pitch set to match the fixed blade prop it was replacing, but they sent it for a 1" rather than the 1 1/8" shaft I specified. The shaft size is managed by the size of an internal collar. Martec sent the replacement, but when S&S (the local retailer) installed it, the pre-set pitch was lost. Luckily it's adjustable, so it was easily made right. It used to be that if there was less than 8 kts or so of wind it wasn't worth pulling up the sails. Now we are able to sail in 5 kts. Definitely worthwhile.
