Greetings All,

As we are Australians, consider us biased, but everything that Jim said
about the Autostream is what we have found.

Being in control going astern was a bonus that I wasn't expecting (the prop
seems to "bite" much better than the old fixed blade).

Ours is fitted to a 80HP Perkins on a 17 ton boat and seems to handle the
load very well.

Regards

Lex
