We have just purchased a 2005 Wauquiez Centurion 40S the boat has a fixed prop and was given an option for the flexofold 3 bladed and recently I have also noticed the flexofold feathering. We are interested in changing the prop and would like to know if someone has the part number.

I don't think Flexofold makes a feathering propeller.

You are correct I should have said that they are know using a feathering prop for there option. We are interested in the part for the 3 bladed flexofold

I still don't understand. Do you want a feathering or folding? Regardless, there isn't any sense in asking here when you can go straight to the source. Contact flexofold. They are very responsive to questions now.

I have called flexofold usa and they no longer have any technical help.

I would really like to hear back from somebody who owns a Wauquiez Centurion 40S with the same Yanmar motor and sail drive as we have that changed there solid prop to the 3 bladed flexoflold and the part number. As I said this was an option from the factory and any that I have seen for sale in USA or Europe took the option. The proplem is that props are a science and if we could find out what the option prop was it would be great. Wauquiez does not answer we have tried to email them without any response and flexofold USA no longer has any technical support.
