What's the best make and size folding/self feathering prop for a Hunter 40ft sloop?

Like my "Flex-O-Fold" . . . .

on my H37C. It was an easy install, motors well although I don't think reverse improved very much. Did get rid of most propwalk. But was mostly interested in getting rid of the drag. It is a very heavy-duty prop. See: http://usboat.com/jensen/

Hunter 40 prop.

Dear Fred Hecker, Thank you for the note. (Biting my tongue on the best unit! :) ) The recommended diameter of two blade unit for your Hunter 40 should be a 17” diameter 1” or 1 ¼” shaft. You will need to confirm the vessels engine info along with current shaft diameter to whom ever you request a quote from. The vessel went through a few changes in both shaft diameter and engine size. But all in all the 17” should work fine. Pitch will be determined by the Hp of the engine and its reduction gear. Hope this helps. Kevin L. Woody
