I had a Martec when I purchased the boat, and soon replaced it with a two blade 16" Maxprop. If I were to do it again, I would go with a three blade Maxprop. Less vibration.

I can actually feel the blades flopping around if I’m near idle speed. It’s not a big issue, but the prop does have some favorite rpm ranges. Mine is now about 12 years old and has never been rebuilt. I only average about 50 hours a year motoring though.

Tim and Dave, you mentioned issues getting the Martec to open at low revs. Would a short boost to high revs when you start the engine solve that issue? Sam
