[KIMBANDA13871]

Can someone help me to change my propeller, there are so many brands in the market and so many different specs and I am confused with all of it.I would like to change due the lack of boat speed of my actual propeller. I can make only 5kts,gps, at 2800 rpms.Tks José

Length of Forestay for 1987 HL35

I am looking for the length of the forestay, pin to pin. Hunter says it should be 46' 2 1/2". The one that came off was 44' 10". The boat was not in sailing condition at the time I purchased her so I don't have a baseline of performance to compare with.The problem we have is with interference between the new hood furler and the furler cutout in the deck. The angle of the forestay is suspect because of the length.Thanks,Randy

Take a look

at the current edition of "Sail" magazine. They have an extensive article on all types of folding/feathering props this month.
