I own a 1982 S2 9.2 with a Yanmar 2GM engine. When I bought it last year, it had a Martec 2 blade 14x14 folding prop on it and was very competative in club racing. This year, one blade broke off and I had to install the old 3 blade 14x8 fixed blade prop while I dealt with Martec. The boat is noticably slower both under sail and under power. I have to pay a 6 second per NM penalty for using the folding prop but it seems well worth it. I can't wait to get the Martec prop back on the boat. Martec denied any responsibility for the failure, but did completely refurbish the hub and installed two new blades for their standard price. |
