[C320-list] Folding Propellers for 3YM-30

[Kurt R. Budelmann, M.D.]

Thanks, Len for the info.  Any particular reason you went for the three blade over the 2-blade Gori?  Did you have to make any modifications for clearance?

  Planning to get Gori 3-blade folding 15 x 12 RH for Aqua5 (#1070).  Boat
  came with 15 x 11 RH, and after much checking, have determined that 15 x 12
  is best for Yanmar 3YM30.
