[C320-list] Gori prop problem

It's been a terrible summer for sailing for me, between too busy at work 
and too hot on the water. I went to the boat yesterday for the first 
time in over a month and dove to see how bad the prop was. The good news 
is that the Propspeed seems to have kept most of the hard growth off my 
Gori 2 blade folding prop. The bad news is that I can't unfold it all 
the way. The blades unfold smoothly until they reach about 90 degrees to 
each other, but I can't get any more motion than that, and certainly not 
the 180 degrees I need for proper motoring. I tried scraping out as much 
junk as I could from the pivot area, but couldn't make more than minor 
progress on getting the thing to unfold.

Does anyone have suggestions or tips before I take the step of getting 
the boat hauled?
