If we use a car analogy then yes 5 blade props would be harder on the drives.
When you put slicks on a car and it begins to hook up hard to the road you begin finding where your driveline parts are weak.
Since 5 blades have more "bite"(traction) they will put more pressure on the driveline-especially the drive(s).

Jesse James,
I don't think the 6's are the fix all type of answer. Maybe for you guys with big boats it is but I think a 26 Scarab with a 6 hanging off of the back might just sink !!
I've been lucky so far though ,675hp thru a stock Bravo with a total of 200 stock motor hours made it thru 2 poker runs and about 35 hard hours.
I will be trying my XR soon so hopefully that will be good enough for me.
And I agree about the throttle arm does allot of the breaking . The splines on my prop shaft are still perfectly straight ! Guess I'm okay !
