After a race today, a spinnaker sheet got caught in my folding prop (http://www.martec-props.com/info_Slipstream.htm) and somehow managed to remove the prop...
Tomorrow, a diver is going to try to retrieve it, but I am not too optimistic that he will be able to find it.
Question: Does anyone know of a good brand for folding props that fit a Volvo Penta 120S-E saildrive? Ideally, this prop would be easy to remove while in the slip so that the diver can easily replace the fixed ring zinc that I have on there.
Thanks for any pointers!

Flexofold is probably the best folding propeller. Held on with one locking nut and as easy to remove as a standard propeller.
Suggest you also fit a Stripper rope cutter to avoid the fouling that you have just experienced www.ropestripper.com
