Folding prop is good for racing your 32....will have a considerably less performance than your two blade in reverse. I see you are in Toronto so docking might not be as horrendous there as here some days. I have a 3 blade and it's staying on just for the reverse....I'll take the hit on speed. Some days I can have 30 kts of wind on the stern coming into dock...I can lay her there.

Mine is 12/6 (pretty sure). The stamp is hard to read...either a 6 or a 9 but I don't think it's a 9....performs very well with my 30.

Hope that helps you out.
