[C320-list] Stock 2 blade propeller

[Marek Fluder]

Three blade fixed, most likely original, on our 2005 boat as well.
15R12 stamped on it.
Pushes the boat at 7.3 knots with max rpm of 3600.
Good performance forward, lousy in reverse - I have to "gun" the engine in
reverse to stop the boat coming to the dock.
I've researched a bit feathering and folding props, but given the price and
issues that might come with those designs I am inclined to stay with what I
have.
