[C320-list] Interesting Auto Prop conversation on C380 list

[Jon Vez]

Brad,

I would appreciate the link. I have an AP and love mine, but would be
interested to see what the thread is about. I've also had no problems with
their customer service. I've actually visited the US distributor--very
helpful and knowledgeable....

Regards,

I have been following an interesting Autoprop conversation on the C380 list.
Apparently there was a recall in 2002 for some range of serial numbers that
was otherwise "un-announced".  

Also, it appears that several members have a fair bit of distain about their
customer service.

I know several of the folks on this list have talked about getting
feathering and folding props to help with boat speed.

I personally am nearly 90% sold on an Flex O Fold folding based on feedback
from this group.

If anyone is interested, I would be happy to forward the e-mails as
attachments.

NOT trying to slam Autoprop, rather just making sure anyone considering one
has all the information they need to make an informed decision.  Several of
the other owners indicate their Autoprop's are working "fine".

Contact me offline if you want to get the thread.....
