Wow! That is a serious penalty. It is three to six around here. Three if in an aperture and six if out in the open.
And....the Flex-o-fold is a geared prop so the blades open together and close together. I have not heard of any of them not opening, unless they have been sitting around so long that they are encrusted with junk/barnacles so bad that they wouldn't work even if they were fixed. I deliver boats for our museum's donation program and have run into a couple which were so dirty that the prop was just a blob of crud - no thrust. Didn't make a difference if it was folding (they weren't) or not. Gary ----- Original Message ----- From: D.J.

If you race the current penalty is 12 seconds per mile. Don't care for them myself.

Do you remember what size Flexofold you have, and can you comment if it seems the right size. The recommendation Flexofold have made to me is 2-blade 15x11R.
