I've just got the boat in the water for the season and I'm already looking to build the wish list for next season.
I've got a Campbell Sailor 3 blade fixed propeller on my boat currently and it's performance in reverse is less than ideal. The low drag, smaller profile of the prop is very weak in reverse. So I'm looking at going with a feathering prop. I've been checking out the forums and various websites it's hard to find any direct comparisons between products.
The two I'm interested in that are rep'd in my area are the J-Prop and the VariProfile. Another one I've seen discussed in the forums is the Autostream unit from Martec.
One thing I've noticed is that the J-Prop is markedly lower in price than the VariProfile or Autostream.
Any comments or suggestions on these or other units would be appreciated.
Cheers.
