Good experiences; thanks for sharing.
Looks like two or three endorsements for the Max Prop; about the
same against the Martec; one for the Flexofold; ...and a Gori
replacing a Martec!
couple of questions:
How big a deal is the maintenance on the Max Prop?
Is it just a matter of greasing the prop every couple of years or is
there more? - I pull the boat out of the lake every October; so it
wouldn't be too much of a concern.
I still have the old prop on the shaft. Am I correct in assuming
that the taper is a standard SAE? I'm going to need to know for sure
before I order. (Probably safer to remove the prop and measure for
peace of mind!)
Any more information / experiences / insights welcome.

Sam, I have a two blade Flex I Fold, which goes nicely
forwards and backwards and replaced a 2 blade non-geared Martec
that went sideways in reverse and sometimes went forward if the
blades opened together (even after rebuilding). The two do not
compare.

Sam I also have the 2 blade Martec and a 26. I have not
found poor performance in reverse but I don't do it a bunch
either. Can push just fine going forward.

Sam,
I have a two blade folding Martec prop that goes 7 kts
forward and four kts directly sideways in reverse. Going
with a Gori this winter.

This winters project is a folding/feathering prop.
I've just sent off inquiries to:
Flexofold
Max Prop
Slipstream
Anyone got any comments/observations/likes/dislikes.
Any experience good or bad with any type of
folding/feathering prop would be useful.
Any other manufacturers recommended.
Now is your chance to get in on a real sailing topic -
folding/feathering props OR rum!
