Hello All
I am new to the forum although I have been reading as a guest for a few years now.
I was prompted to register after seeing this thread as I have an Axiom prop on a 55ft Trad with a Beta 43.
Over the last 20 odd years I have previously owned a 38ft cruiser stern with SR2 and stupidly small prop, 47ft cruiser stern with Vetus 4.14 and reasonably well specified prop, 64ft Trad with RN DM2 and over sized prop - then the same engine in a 52ft Trad/Tug style with better sized prop.
The current boat with Axiom prop reverses and maneuvers very well indeed and is only matched by the 52ft Trad/Tug style with RN DM2 but then taht was a few years ago now.
I can't comment on value for money as it was fitted to a new boat and so the cost was "lost" in total.
Hope the helps.
