Jeff,
We have an AutoProp on a bronze shaft and the AutoProp is heavy and easily thrown out of balance (kelp). As long as wee keep the shaft aligned we have not had a problem.
Best,

I bought a new folding prop and when my diver went to install it he said I need to get a stainless shaft and he highly recommends not to install it on my bronze shaft. Gary at Martec told me when I bought it is was not an issue. I recall when I posted about it before I bought it there was some chatter about this. I'm wondering if anyone has a Martec folding prop on a bronze shaft and if they have had any issues. My boat is hull 75 or something, 1994.
