No, it has a shear pin design...it's a real simple thing. If something sticks in the prop, then the shear pin breaks, and you don't burn out the motor. I could make a adjustable prop given a bit of time...and just might. Right now I see no need. It's a nice simple design that sells for less then I could get a Mako at cost...and less then a Dacor. ( I can get all three at cost/keyman). I'm not getting into a Scubapro vs the world discussion here. I like the scooter, it's NOT a painted black Sea Shuttle (the Sea Shuttle was HUGE compared to this model AND a total POS). For the $$ it's a great scooter that is rated deeper then the Dacor and Mako, has a longer burn time, and tows one-handed with ease. I like it, don't really give a flying rats ass if you don't...and would like to end this thread if we could.
