I ordered a new prop a few weeks ago from West by North. They are super responsive to email. They also knew exactly what prop I needed. I just received it today. It was supposed to arrive yesterday according to DHL, but it didn't. On a positive note the box was in great shape. I'm not very impressed with DHL though.

I'll let you know how I like the new prop.
Really interested in your experience with the 3 blade Campbell Sailor prop.
I am thinking about a new prop for my 32’ O’Day 322. Currently running a 14x14R 2 blade Michigan. I have a Yanmar 2GM20F engine, 1 cylinder less than you run.
I have quotes from Max-Prop for a 3-blade ($3,100), a 2-blade ($2,250) and a flex-o-fold 2-blade folding ($1,445).
I don’t really motor much, so have a hard time justifying a 3-blade anything…but a 2-blade feathering Max-prop is high on the list.
I am more interested in trying to get an extra 1/2 knot of speed in light winds.
With the significantly smaller blades on the CS, I am curious if there is any difference in speed in light winds.
The other thing I think that the Max-Prop offers is more bite in reverse…which would be good.
so, keep use posted once you get her out on the water.
Thanks,
Greg
