Volvo folding propeller on a Bavaria 33 with 130 Saildrive

Hi just a comment on your mention of barnacles jamming your proposed folding prop; with my last boat kept in Dartmouth which is a high fouling area I used to put really thick grease on the gears and pins and when  ever I went down to check the boat, even if not going out for a sail, I fired up the engine and gave the prop a burst ahead and in reverse to discourage things from growing on it, never had a problem. Best of luck with what ever you choose to fit; John.
