I’m planning to purchase a feathering prop for my Catalina 380. Looking at the different web pages, the Kiwi prop seems very interesting (performance, design, price). Does anyone have any experience with the Kiwi prop? I’m living in California, and I’m a little concerned with service and support, as they don’t appear to have a US distributor.
Headed into my fourth season w/mine on a Pearson 34 with a Yanmar 3GMF. Quite happy with it. Greatly reduced walk. Much better reverse. Chipped one blade corner on a log first season, have not replaced because damage small, BUT it is replaceable. A little grease every spring. Deal direct w/mfg. & they're very responsive.
