CDI prop?

[rschaffner]

I'm in the process of buying a 1973 E-32, and am considering replacing the old bronze 2-blade folding prop. It's out of the water and I haven't had the chance to test drive it, so I am not sure of the performance. Does anyone have any experience with CDI (Cruising Design, Inc.) props as a replacement?

Thanks,
Becky

CDI prop

I replaced my stock prop on my 27 this season. Although it is larger in diameter than the orig. I went for it to try to improve my reverse thrust. I really notice the difference and in forward my rpms dropped about 200 rpm at 6k. Yes the larger 2 blade causes more drag but I don't race and the trade off was worth it in my opinion. If you have any tech Q, call the factory, the design engineer answered the phone and was very helpful.
