For the past 3 months I was using a loaner prop from Bruntton's. It was the Varifold foldering prop. It worked well, but as a cruiser, I did not like the feel when backing. My regular prop and the prop associated with my PHRF rating is a Bruntton's Autoprop. With that prop I can go an extra 1.2 knots under power.
Today I moved over to the haulout slip for a short-haul. Dr. Roderick Sampson, of King Propulsion here in Virginia Beach, came over to reinstall my Autoprop. He had prepped the prop with Black Widow barnacle protection from Petit, which looked really nice.
While we were out of the water, I changed cutless bearing. After going back in the water, we took a quick spin to test out the clean prop and check for leaks.
