We have the original 14 inch mickey mouse fixed prop. We would like to do some club racing and want recommendations for a folding two-bladed prop. Our engine is a 3GM30F Yanmar. Also, do you recommend a cutter? We have lots of crab pots in our area. Thanks !

This topic has been covered quite a bit in the past. You can search for "Prop", "folding prop", "feathering prop", etc. Flex-O-Fold is one of a few brands available (also Gori comes top mind). Their website (link) has a performance comparison with other brands that should, if nothing else, sensitize you to some of the technical issues and how they might be measured. Chuck Angle in Marblehead, MA is the North America Distributor -- a very nice guy, too. BTW: The standard 2- or 3-blade prop on a C320 has a 15" diameter these days. Are you sure yours isn't undersized?
