[C38] feathering propellors

[Max Soto]

Hi Julian,
Just in case, for a 1982 with original engine, it should be a Universal
5424, 24hp, with a Hurth HBW 100 transmission 1.8:1 on a 1 inch shaft. The
prop should be right handed. The specs said that the transmission ratio is
2:1, but they are really 1.8. If not mistaken, the exact ratio is 1.79:1

Hope this helps,
