I recently had my three blade Max-prop refurbished. My engine was running rough, so I thought it might have been the cutless bearing. While the boat was out of the water for bottom paint, the yard noticed the prop blades were wobbly and the shaft was worn, in addition to the worn cutless bearing. The prop was sent back for refurbishing ( It came back looking like a brand new prop.), a new shaft was machined and a new cutless bearing was installed. The crew and I noticed a significant difference in how smooth the engine runs, and I get more boat speed than before the work was done.
