Hi David,
I have a 16D X 12P Martec Elliptec Mk III 2 blades folder (3GM30F) and it
makes 5.8 - 6.2 at 2,850 - 2900 and 6.8 - 7.0 maxed-out (3400 rpm) with a
clean hull . I don't know about it being the best prop. but it's
cheap, simple, can easily be found used on eBay for a few hundred

Hi David,
Another possible option is the Featherstream props.
http://www.featheringpropeller.com/ I looked at those pretty carefully.
They seem to be much like the newer externally adjustable Max props but
for less $$. I think if I needed an offshore cruising prop I would give
them a try.
Another one, the J prop
We have one. Works perfectly, no vibration. tons of reverse.

Mine cost only $500, but the main problem was frilling of the blades. The
main body was still good.
PYI is good, but at that price point for a rebuild I'd be looking at new.

When you put a zinc on the shaft, there is normally a bit of slack in the
whole assembly. This is usually fixed by whacking the zinc with a hammer to
seat it on the shaft. Unless you back up the other side of the shaft with
something relatively immobile, you stand a chance of bending the shaft.
experience, FWIW. Cheers

Hi Jim, hate to sound like a total boob as compared to my normal boobness, but
what are you referring to in both the dead blow hammers and painting of zincs??
I am interested…

Jim, I just dropped my prop off at PYI to be looked over. Mine was still
working but one blade was a nasty orange color and the hub had lost a lot of
material… though not enough to not keep it together. How bad was yours
hauling out in Sept so could check then. Ciao

Yes, it is a 3 blade and I run it at the same 2700 rpm's. Yet to get to 6.5
knots or more would take plenty more rpms! If you by chance figure out which
prop you have (size) and what the pitch is I would love to know. Hopefully

It appears that the zincs got replaced on my drive shaft but not my Maxprop!!!
Needless to say my prop is shot and I am looking at either another of the same
or other options. I am hoping that some one out there with the same or similar
boat can weigh in on whether the Maxprop or something else
I had the same deal with my MaxProp, except all my zincs fell off. This was
before I was Enlightened to dead-blow hammers and critical painting of
zincs.
It cost $500 US, but the guys at PYI did a great job of rebuilding the
prop. Two weeks and half a boat unit is a cheap option.
