Absolutely love my Flexofold 3 blade. Works well in forward and reverse, very little prop walk, well made, easy to disassemble for removal and cleaning.

Totally agree with ohthetrees. Also, I highly recommend combining it with a ropecutter. The Ambassador one fits nicely with the Flexofold.

I have the same cutter, it is the only one I know of for this saildrice that that is good. I feel strongly that scissor type cutter is better than saw type cutter.
It does require a simple modification to the propeller, Which requires a machine shop, and to each anode that you install. That is the most pain of this cutter. But it is worth it, it’s very good.

Another vote for a flex o fold x3 blade. Transformed performance and handling under power (& of course sail). I’m do want to get it copper plated because try as I might I can’t get any antifouling to stick to it and it & performance is very clearly impacted as it weeds up
