Has anyone recently jumped up to a feathering prop? I have a standard 3 blade one connected to my 35 hp Yanmar.
Did you observe light air improvement?
Also were there transmission gearing changes required?
Going to save you a lot of time, head scratching, soul searching
Buy a 3 bladed Max prop
Had it on my 40.5, and realized in 5 minutes that I made the absoutey right choice.
If your boat was bigger, I’d say 4 blade Vari.
Respectfully, auto prop , and Gori folding are better than a fixed prop, but for your boat you will get optimum performance from the max
You will have zero reverse prop walk, and be able to stop from full speed to zero in one boat length.
But it from Defender., best prices
Max prop needs to know your engjne & transmission
They’ll figure out the rest.
Auto prop is cheaper. There is a reason why, And won’t get into it.
There are only 2 viable feathering pros
Max prop & vari prop.
You can spend less, but in that case I’d reccomend keeping your fixed prop.
this is an important decision. The reviews all overwhelmingly echo what I’m telling you
good luck
