i have the two blade..............................
i took it off to change the cutlass bearing and asked for the proper settings for my boat. you couldnt ask for better service!!! highly recommended and i agree that i have better control in reverse!

Love Mine
I have a three blade. Works very well in forward. Minimal drag under sail. Reverse is great and therefore braking power is excellent when you need to stop in a hurry. Gary Wyngarden S/V Wanderlust h37.5

Max-Prop
I love mine for all the reasons stated. 350 bucks is a steal for that prop, but if you plan to put it on a Beneteau, make absolutley sure you have a 1.5 in shaft, (BIG boat) since Beneteaus have metric shafts. My OC400 is a 30mm.

Double check shaft diameter
I saw the post about the 30mm shaft on the Beneteau. I haven't measured mine but i think its a one inch shaft. The boat is a 2004 323 built in South Carolina. It will be beneficial to measure before buying.

Also, for installation, make sure the taper is the proper one for the prop and that the keyway is also proper. If the key is too thick then the prop will be off-center and there will be vibration. Advantages: Boat goes significantly faster, tracks higher, you'll sail more and motor less, and since the shaft doesn't turn there won't be any additional wear and tear on the transmission, and.. (there's more?), the boat sails quieter! (no swishing prop/water noise)
