[C320-list] Kiwi Prop

[Simon Rock]

We fitted a Hydralign feathering prop to our C375. So far it has been great.
The supplier came and fitted it to the boat (I did not trust the delivery
dealer to do the job properly - but that is another long story).
I will test the amount of prop walk today.
At the moment, the C36/375 discussion is also on prop walk and docking
issues. Here are some links that have been suggested there.

Colin, We have an Autostream on our 320. We love it. Great propulsion 
forward and reverse, little prop walk, little maintenance other than a 
yearly grease and coated with Prop Speed. Beautifully built. I wish I could 
use it on my Cessna!  Three other Catalina's have them in our marina. Peter
