Customers thought it was cool!

Anyway, these props did not have a "Baja Cup".

We started doing this cupping on the Bravo 1 props for Baja's at Mercury Racing in the 1999 time frame and the public started calling it a Baja cup in the mid 2000's.

Great question!

Great answers...always wondered about those props. Brett, How is the hydromotive 3 blade compared to the mirage plus/mirage/pre-mirage (what i have cupped spinning 4800k at 61 mph). I'm planning on testing a few my friend had lying around, a 24p rh/lh for my 88' 292 stock 330hp formula. Is it worth me taking the boat in/out...? these days cant do it in water anymore due to health.

Snowing yet?

Cheers,
Mike

Mirage plus has more overall lift.
Especially reaction to trim.
