Feathering Props
We have used two Max-props on our cat for 8 years. They are great props, work, but require expensive anodes (I guess this is where all the mfgrs make their money).
That said, if I were in the market today, I''d try an Auto-prop first. This is a self-pitching design (i.e. pitch is adjusted to perfect thrust automatically). I think it''s the future but haven''t tried it on the cats PJs.
Typically, owner reports show 10+% speed increases for the same RPM on their engines. Depending on where the current (fixed pitch) prop is optimized, the gains can even be greater. Cheers!
