We fitted a Kiwi prop to a new C320 so we have no comparison with a
fixed 
but we love it.
A couple of observations; it drives the boat much faster at idle,
especially 
astern and max engine revs are lower than I've heard others mention, 
2300-2400. Both these factors may well be a function of the blade
setting. I 
haven't messed with mine since the installation but I'm tempted to
reduce 
the pitch, which can be done under water. It's hard to assess the
reduction 
in drag compared with a fixed prop for obvious reasons but it does
feather 
promptly when out of gear without fussing with the gear shift. I would
fit 
one again.
