Folding Props & rope cuters

[Guest]

Are folding props and rope cutters mutually exclusive? would a rope cuter plus say sa Gori make sense?

On my boat I've got a Volvo 2030 which drives the 3 bladed folding prop through a saildrive, and a stripper is attached forward oif the prop. So far so good (one season's use).

And me, and last season the 'stripper' cut its way through a large clump of netting as I was motoring out of Alderney. Great combination - the folded prop is perhaps less likely to catch rubbish and the 'stripper' is a really good product I reckon.

CQR advised me not to fit a stripper with a three bladed flex-o-fold propeller, but it is not being fitted for another fortnight so I cannot guarantee they are right. I guess you pays your money and takes your choice.

I've a 3 bladed folding prop on a 120 Saildrive with Ambassador Stripper fitted. No problems so far.

What reason did CQR give you? I have a flex-o-fold and a rope cutter, havn't had a problem so far. Not a stripper though.
