@neauoire imo fixed prop = simple, solid, nothing can break, good reverse authority.
these feathering props are at the mercy of the next clam growing inside it, plus the chance of stripping the gears on impact with solids or ropes.
"but drag", but is it worth it?

@nomand maybe for racing boats, our boat used to be racing and I think that's probably why they installed that on.

@neauoire was the mechanism fouled much? I know some people swear by them, but the thought that the prop could get fully stuck in some other-than-usable position irks my reliability spidey senses. Not sure if I'm overthrowing that though

@nomand no, the inside was like new, just entirely filled with grease, I doubt anything would want to live in that stuff.

The teeths are pretty massive, I have a hard time imagining falling out of sync. Will report back if we ever have issues with it. So far so good.
