Maximus prop on a heat?
 

Anyone ever ran a maximus prop on a heat ? If so how did it work ?

I've tried several differant bravo props and three differant P5X props and on my 2010 Heat the labbed Mercury Maximus 15.25x30 short tube is 4-5 mph faster at 3000 rpm's and 3-4 mph faster at full throttle then anything I have ran with no handling or planing issues.

Is that just a bravo 4 blade sorry or is that a maximus 5 blade thanks

The bravo's are four blade and Maximus props are five blades

Sorry i may worded my last question wrong which were u running a bravo 1 four blade or a maximus 5 blade to achieve thise numbers thanks

The Maximus is the best prop on my boat it out performs any of the other props at cruise speeds and wide open. I know some people really like the Hydromotive P5x prop but they fail short at ever rpm on me boat.

Also I have never tried a stock Maximus but my guess is that with the stock diameter being 15.625 and having a long tube that it will have to much stern lift but I don't know that for sure.

So You are running a maximus st (short tube) how much power are you pushing?

Yes it is the st (short tube) and I am running a Mercury 600sci with a Whipple stage 2 upgrade so they claim it is around 730-740hp now.

Thanks for the numbers i am also in the 700-750 hp range ive tried a p5x and was pretty happy with results im probably going to get with bblades and test a maximus st if you dont mind me asking what kinda mph are you getting im currently at 86 light load and 80 fully loaded i am running a stock bravo 1 28 pitch
