Edd I installed a 450 MarineKinetix in Annapolis on my way south in 2014. Install was simple. I mounted it on a poll I purchased from e-marine. It's aluminum and they coat the inside to reduce vibration and noise. I love it when the wind is blowing 15+ kts. I chose this one because I saw one on Cruising Solution's boat in Shelbourne NS. Every time I went by in the dinghy I would stop and listen to see how noisy it was. It was very quiet. Also I thought the pricing was good.
I don't believe all the hype from all the manufactures about performance.
