Re: [LagoonOwners] flexprops experience


 

¿ªÔÆÌåÓý

I have Flexofold 2 blade on my boat. My Lagoon, being the predecessor to the L380, has shaft drive. I found that the 2 blade have more vibration and noise then my fixed props did. I believe that most of this is related to the shaft drive and may not affect a sail drive the same way. If I had it to do over I would have gotten 3-blade. All other aspects about the Flexofold are fantastic. Motoring performance is better then my fixed 2 blade. Reverse works the same. I've run charters for 12 years so I pull into docks a lot!?

I am thinking of replacing my max props (in need of serious reconditioning) with flexfold. Yachting magazine did a comparison of various folding and feathering props

and the flex props both 3 and 2 blade performed very well. Does anyone have experience with flex fold? I am thinking of the two blade because it is lighter and less expensive. I have a lagoon 380 with yanmar 3gm 30 with 3300 hours and sd20 saildrives.

Any advice would be greatly appreciated
