We like our Max Prop and the ability to change pitch. We liked our Martek
folder on our last boat but this boat is much heavier and the Martek Folder
on the new boat was replaced with the Max Prop. Gotta tell you something.

I have a MaxProp and haave mostlly good thing to say about it, with the
exception that if you dont full idle down between forward and reverse,
the casting will deform a bit and the blades can get a bit 'sloppy'.

The 'regular' Max-Props are nice as you can change the ptich when the
boat is still in the water.

For those of you with props in 'apertures' ...... When sizing any
feathering prop dont just take the manufacturers dimensions and think
everything will be all-right with the installation. I strongly suggest
that you take the dimensions and make a 'pattern' or mock-up put it on
the prop shaft ..... and then fully swing the rudder back and forth to
determine the intereference when the rudder is 'hard over".
