petethecat,
I would appreciate any input from people with experience from any of the following feathering propellers; Autoprop and Maxprop.
I´m trying to get better performance under sail on my Moody 42 ketch and get rid of the huge fixed 3-bladed one.
Try Martec. They sell an AutoStream which is a 3 blade feathering propeller from Australia that is, in my opinion, superior to Martec and costs a lot less. I have one on my Tartan 37 and it added about .75 knot of speed sailing and stopped a lot of lugging on the engine. You need one that is externally adjustable both forward and reverse.
