Work of art

It took some doing, but the Martec prop is finally off the prop shaft and the new Flexofold prop is on.  Flexofold is a Danish company that makes great marine propellers with just about the lowest drag characteristics under sail, and among the best in motoring performance in forward and reverse.  The blades are geared together, so one blade cannot drop down unexpectedly and create a lot of drag.  This one is the correct size for the engine and transmission and won't overdrive and cavitate like the other one tended to do.  And this propeller is a work of art.  It's beautiful!
