Dennis,
I have an '85 TR with a Martec folding prop. It came with the boat. It works great, both forward and reverse. The only negative is I race Wednesdays and I have to go down into the quarter berth to get it lined up so it folds (I'm lazy). I sent it back once to get it rebuilt as the blades were getting loose. It is at least 10 or more years old. If I were to buy one now, I would go with the prop that folds when the engine is shut down. Don't remember the name, it is several hundred $ more than what I have. It just depends on how many boat $ you are willing to spend. If I were just cruising, I would stay with the fixed blade prop.

These props are not cheap. Anyone with a C27 using one of these props? How do you like it? Was there a true increase in performance? Was it worth the cost?
