[C320-list] Kiwi Prop

[Bruce Stanley]

Hi
weed problems do not happen in my sailing area.
However the Kiwi is a feathering prop and performs admirably as such.
In Reverse it performs in near full power!!!
Therefore the Kiwi is an outstanding improvement over the standard 3
blade fixed prop,
and it would seem to me that it would be superior in weed conditions.
