I think so. Not much maintenance in fresh water. Just grease it every spring.

  Thanks again to everyone for sharing your experiences.  Sounds like a 
Max-Prop is the gold standard.  On the other hand, it looks like those retail 
for a non-trivial percentage of what I paid for the entire boat.  Plus ongoing 
maintenance costs.  Is it worth it?

    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.

      Sam,



      My Martec doesn’t like to turn at slow speeds. 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.

      Thanks, everyone!  



      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
