I too like the max prop having installed one on my current boat back in 1985 and it's still doing fine. I routinely haul out about every three years here on the Cheaspeake and at that time I repack the prop with the proper grease and replace the zinc. Sometimes I do dive on the boat to change the zinc after about a year and a half, but the yearly service is something that I have not done for the past 24 years. FWIW I also paint the prop with bottom paint which is not recommended although I do prep it first with the Interlux underwater primer. Even though this has worked for me, your results may very and yearly maintenance if fine.
