Checked a couple of surveys but neither mentioned the size or pitch. I am hauling out in Sept so could check then. Ciao

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 (dear God!!) PYI can find enough left of mine to repair. On Aug 2, 2015, at 11:14 PM, David Blair via CnC-List <cnc-list@cnc-list.com> wrote: I assume your Maxprop is a 3 blade? I have that setup on my 34+ with the same engine. At 2700 rpm we do about 6.5 to 6.75 knots pretty regularly, No issues with vibration, seems to be good power and good reverse power. Sorry I don't know offhand the pitch or size of the prop. That's my Maxprop experience, FWIW.

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 that was repairable? Dave M.

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.

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 is recommended. I have a 3GM30 and ever since I bought this boat several years ago I have felt there was a bit too much vibration and not enough speed. If I take the engine up to about 2700 rpm's my boat speed is only around 5 to 5 1/4 knots. The prop has always performed adequately but not great. Maybe the pitch etc. is off. Looking also at the Variprop which supposedly has the least drag of all 3 blades and can be adjusted much easier than the Maxprop. Thoughts, ideas, what are you other 34+ owners using?
