I guess I'm just a closet trawler sailor. In 3 months cruising BC I only raised the sails twice. My last trip to Catalina with no wind it was great to throttle up and feel the boat "surge" to 8 kts. I'd gladly sacrifice a little drag under sail for some blade twist and better motoring efficiency. The Autoprop sounds great and a few people I know who have one love it. But I can't handle the cost, inability to manually set the pitch to match the... ]]> feeds@yuku.com (captrick) http://catalina42discussionforum.yuku.com/sreply/4792 Mon, 21 Nov 2005 09:03:27 GMT http://catalina42discussionforum.yuku.com/reply/4791/t/Autoprop.html#reply-4791
We put the 18" Autostream on our 1990 boat about 3 years ago after running the stock fixed prop for about 2 years. My expereince with boats speed was about the same as yours. I had set the prop according to Autostream's commendations of 19° forward and 14° reverse but the engine wrapped up to full speed and didn't seem to be putting much power into the prop. I spent a couple of hours in scuba gear one afternoon and did a trial and error... ]]> feeds@yuku.com (nickwigen) http://catalina42discussionforum.yuku.com/sreply/4791 Sat, 19 Nov 2005 10:17:04 GMT http://catalina42discussionforum.yuku.com/reply/4790/t/Autoprop.html#reply-4790 feeds@yuku.com (captrick) http://catalina42discussionforum.yuku.com/sreply/4790 Sat, 19 Nov 2005 09:04:19 GMT http://catalina42discussionforum.yuku.com/reply/4789/t/Autoprop.html#reply-4789
I purchased the Martec at the commissioning of my boat via the Catalina dealer in Dec. of 2002 for a 2003 model year C42. They were the ones who got the great price for me on the prop. The low cost was the determining factor btwn Autoprop and Autostream.

I really liked the Autoprop but the best I could ever find on pricing was about 10% discount on show specials. ]]> feeds@yuku.com (jbmason) http://catalina42discussionforum.yuku.com/sreply/4789 Fri, 18 Nov 2005 15:29:53 GMT http://catalina42discussionforum.yuku.com/reply/4788/t/Autoprop.html#reply-4788
I was quoted $2500 from Martec for a new prop in October, 2005 as I was researching just what I had on the bottom.

Along with JB, I highly recommend this prop.
