[PUP] Emergency Power (The Dashew's trip planning)

[Ronald Bonvie]

I am the owner of Nordhavn 6202 M/V Bonne Vie. I infact do have a 3 bladed 
max prop. When I use allot of reverse thrust. The prop will open and I will 
have to start the get home engine to fold the prop. This rarely happens so I 
have not instituted any changes.
