[C320-list] Prop replacment

[Jerry]

I have a feathering 3 blade Kiwi prop.  The performance is great especially 
motoring into heavy weather and reversing.  The price is also right compared 
to other options.  The plastic blades have not been an issue after 2 seasons 
and maintenance is easy when the boat is out for the winter - regrease the 
blades.

The difference to the standard fixed 2 blade is night and day, especially 
when maneuvering in tight spaces.  Is there a fractional additional drag 
compared to a folder, likely yes but look at the value from my perspective.
