    Can the CPP (sorry Richard) on these Sabb setups be angled in such a way as to streamline the blades to the oncoming water flow? I have heard these Sabb setups are a pretty sought after unit.

    With the full feathering prop yeah. That is what it is designed to do.

    That explains alot becouse SABB doesn't make the props, only the gearboxes are their own products. I'm not in a hurry.. I'll wait for the spring and you get the shrink wrap away :D
