While pain, take it in and out of gear and you will be fine. Prop walk can be
your friend once you learn to work with it.

Boat was significantly over-propped when I acquired her. Largely because
transmission ratio is 2.2:1 not 2.62:1 as stamped on the casing. While the
props that came with the boat (a Gori 15X10 and a 3 blade fixed 14X9) were too
big, prop walk was not an issue. Just installed a Campbell Sailor 12x6 and the
prop walk is severe (in spite of the additional tip to hull clearance). It is
basically impossible to turn the bow to port in reverse . The bow swings to
starboard and then once there is some movement through the water will crab
sideways, but the bow will not swing around to port. I have not found any
combination of throttle and rudder position that makes the situation any
better. I need to replace the prop to avoid getting into trouble in close
quarters at some point. Question to C&C 29-2 owners: Has anyone found a prop
that works well going forward and in reverse. Thanks in advance. Martin
