Folding prop

Just had the Flex-o-fold installed today. I had time for a short sea trial. First observation was an obvious increase in power. Speed at all rpms was also improved. Backing under power was much stronger, with noticeably less prop walk. I also went from going forward at 5+ knots to stopping very fast. I was startled, it felt as if I was digging a hole in the water. I noticed a little vibration at one rpm level. I want to do more testing to further evaluate both the performance and vibration, if any.
