Re: Max Prop Self Feathering Propeller

don't know about that one but most of them are not as efficient in reverse as a standard prop... If your racing then it may be worth it, otherwise I would say no....

Hi,
I had a 43 ft. c & c with a three bladed max prop and a 58 hp. westerbeke diesel engine. Made the trip up and down the intercoastal to florida 4 times, and without my maxi I might still be stuck in the boonys. That prop got me out of a few groundings easily and has tremendous pulling power in both directions. The company claims 80% more in reverse then a standard prop and I believe it.

Ahmen! Well worth the cost.
Performance in reverse is a problem with two blade folding props. The only place for these are on racers and serious racers remove them when racing.
